Buying a family horse The ‘family all-rounder’ is probably the most sought-after horse or pony on the market. Here’s how to find the right one to suit you

Words: Carolyn Henderson

T

he best family all-rounder is much more than a Jack of all trades: he’s a horse who can turn his hoof to anything at a reasonable level with more than one member of the family, and may even have the talent to excel in a specialist activity.

The stereotype all-rounder is a half-bred type of around 16hh. But don’t limit yourself to that description, because depending on your circumstances your perfect buy could come in the guise of a substantial Irish Draught, a 15hh cob or a 13.2hh-upwards native pony.

Before scanning the adverts you need to work out essentials, priorities and preferences.

So think about the following: l How many people are going to be riding your new horse or pony, how tall are they and what is the heaviest weight he will be asked to carry? l Who will be the main rider? For instance, will you ride him most of the time, with other family members enjoying weekend riding, or will it be an equal share? l Will everyone who rides him want to do the same activities, or will some riders be less ambitious than others? For instance, if riders of different heights, weights and experience want to jump, your horse will need to be of an appropriate size and have the experience and temperament to cope. But if only a small, lightweight rider wants to jump, you have more leeway. This can apply particularly to a parent and child share, when a parent can help keep a smaller pony fit during the short winter days. l What sort of regime will he be kept on?

This consideration applies to all purchases, but if you’re looking for an all-rounder who will live out 24/7, you need something hardy.

Once you’ve worked out all the facts and figures, common sense shows that while a family all-rounder needs to be able to carry different riders, other factors then take over.

It usually makes sense for the main rider’s needs to be given the highest priority, even if this means that other family members have to improve their riding skills before they can enjoy the horse to the full, or even before they can ride him, without affecting his way of going.

There are four-legged saints who will hack out quietly with a novice rider and go up several gears with a more accomplished one, but they are hard to find and won’t necessarily come cheap. It’s the law of supply and demand – there are many people looking for this type of horse and genuine ones will always find ready buyers.

Basic blueprints When you’re looking for a family all-rounder, the basic blueprint will be the same as for any other type of horse. He needs to have good basic conformation and movement to give him the best chance of staying sound and finding it physically easy to work correctly, though he doesn’t need to be a ‘look at me’ show-stopper.

Of course, if you intend to count showing as one of your activities, you may want to pay more attention to these aspects. However, a horse who meets all your other criteria but has defects that would make it harder for him to stand top of a showing line-up will probably be a better buy than one who looks the business but doesn’t have the right attitude.

That attitude is all-important, because a family all-rounder must have a trainable

When you’re looking for a family all-rounder, the basic blueprint Will be the same as for any other type of horse’ www.HorseDeals.co.uk

It’s essential your horse has the right conformation to suit your family’s competitive aspirations

temperament. While everyone who rides him must do so to the best of his or her ability, he must also be generous enough to forgive minor mistakes.

Any horse’s standard of schooling and way of going will slip back if he loses the guidance of a competent rider. This is where you have to play fair, by making sure that the most experienced and knowledgeable rider keeps him up to scratch, and any less experienced ones have lessons with a good trainer to improve.

Good conformation and straight movement go together, because if a horse is biomechanically correct he will move straight. In the real world, you may find the perfect horse who doesn’t have perfect movement. Perhaps he dishes slightly on one or both front feet, or moves slightly closer in front or behind than is ideal.

Don’t let this blind you to his potential suitability, even if you want to enjoy dressage as well as other activities. Horses are marked for freedom and regularity of paces, not for straightness of movement and a young horse who lacks strength, or one of any age whose schooling can be improved, will often improve.

Having said that, a horse who doesn’t move straight is not likely to do so unless the May 2013 Horse Deals

l Get your priorities right and consider how many people are going to be riding your new horse or pony, how tall they are, and what the heaviest weight is that he’ll be asked to carry. Also, who will be the main rider, and will everyone who rides him want to do the same activities, or will some riders be less ambitious?

l Consider what sort of regime your horse will be kept on. This consideration applies to all purchases, but if you’re looking for an all-rounder who will live out 24/7 all year round, you need something hardy enough to cope. l Don’t discount ponies or small horses, which can accommodate larger riders, within reason. l Look for workmanlike conformation and movement. l Bear in mind that a perfect family all-rounder probably won’t be cheap, as he’s in universal demand.

fault is due to incorrect farriery. Take your vet’s advice when you have your purchase vetted, but if you haven’t already done so, watch a few higher level dressage classes: the horses won’t all move straight as they come down the centre line!

Take the type of movement into consideration, too. While a horse with a slightly rounded action will often have a good jumping technique in front, one with a long, low, ‘daisy-cutting’ stride may not pick up in front as neatly.

And while you don’t need an extravagant length of stride, an up and down ‘sewing machine’ trot is uncomfortable for the rider and puts more concussion on a horse’s limbs and feet. A horse or pony who is straight in the shoulder and upright in the pasterns will often move in this way.

Whatever jobs you want your family all-rounder to do, he needs to present a harmonious overall picture.

It doesn’t matter if, for instance, he’s technically too long in the back or too short in the neck, but it’s a bad sign if you get the impression that his front half belongs to one horse and the back half to another. In particular, you don’t want a horse who is notably weak behind or has a markedly straight hindleg, both signs of weakness.

Blemishes such as splints or capped hocks may make no difference to an all-rounder’s suitability, unless you want to show. Ask your vet’s advice, as some blemishes, such as curbs, are usually associated with poor conformation.

May 2013 Horse Deals

When it comes to choosing a family horse, it’s important not to be ageist and discount talented older, or younger, animals

Age, height and type Within reason, don’t be ageist. It isn’t fair to a young horse to team him up with a total novice, but a young horse with a sensible, generous temperament may cope well if one of his riders is less experienced than another.

The proviso, as always, is that the most novice rider only rides him under supervision and wants to improve. Helping to bring on a young horse under good supervision is also one of the best ways of improving your knowledge and ability.

Height and type are considerations that should be looked at together. An amazing number of riders miss out by only considering horses of 16hh plus, because they don’t realise – or for some reason feel it’s below them – to ride anything smaller.

A deep-bodied, 15hh cob with sufficient bone will easily take most adult riders’ weight and length of leg. The same applies to the large breeds of native pony; in many cases, a 13.2hh – 14hh pony will make a perfect partner for an adult and also for younger riders, too.

Don’t get hung up on the idea of a pony who is bang up to a 14.2hh or 148cm height limit, as applies to breeds such as Connemaras and New Forests. You’ll probably look and feel just as happy on a 14hh pony with a deep girth and, particularly if there are small riders to

l The biggest asset is a generous, trainable temperament.

take into account, shouldn’t be reluctant to try a 13.2hh (138cm); a smaller pony with a long stride will often ride bigger than a taller one who is less scopey.

If you feel you must have a horse of 15hh-plus, think about a large native which has gone over-height or one where there is no upper height limit. However, in some cases, the taller the animal, the less likely he is to retain pony type – though he may well be a lovely stamp and be perfect for your role.

Many great all-rounders have unrecorded breeding, but some riders find great affinity with those who are TB cross native. The best-known crosses are the TB cross Connemara and the TB cross Welsh D. As all breeders know, progeny sometimes favour one side or the other, but those which combine the best of both worlds are highly sought after. With the right schooling, you could have a horse which combines the agility and character of the native breed with the scope and speed of the TB. HD Tel: 01733 468000

TOP RIDER’s BEST BUYS

‘My best buys’ Leading showing rider Jayne Webber joined forces with owner Carol Bardo to form the Bardo Webber showing team in 2006. Here, Jayne shares the things she can’t live without

Best tack: I try not to have a favourite of anything. However, I couldn’t do without my massive chest of different bits.

Why? If I kept thinking ‘I won in that, I must use it again,’ or ‘The last time I won, I used that,’ I could get myself in trouble. I like to go with an open mind and use what I think is suitable at the time – and I rummage in my chest of bits regularly to find ones to suit different horses.

From: I trawl around tack shops and stalls at shows. I love the really old bits, I’m always on the look-out for those. They don’t make them like they used to any more!

Best competition clothing: Bernard Weatherill jackets.

Why? They are so comfortable and easy to wear, not too cold in the winter and not too hot in the summer. I’ve had my jackets for years – a tweed one, a navy blue one and a sidesaddle habit. I was lucky enough to have them made-to-measure and couldn’t possibly replace them. I’ve always said if I got too tubby to fit in them, I’d retire. I probably couldn’t afford to replace them!

From: Bernard Weatherill bespoke jackets, www.bernardweatherill.com

Words and pictures: Suzanne Jones

Best horse: This is an impossible question for me! Some lucky people have one horse of a lifetime, but I’ve had three! They are fourtimes HOYS coloured horse of the year (from 2009 to 2012), The Humdinger; 2010 RIHS supreme The Philanderer – who was HOYS 2008 riding horse champion and HOYS supreme champion a year later – and finally, champion riding horse Comberton Clancy, the 2011 supreme champion at HOYS and RIHS. Why? The Humdinger for his pure consistency and enthusiasm for life. The Philanderer for his magical feeling and appearance – he’s the nearest thing to a fairytale character I’ve ever come across. He’s surreal, a bit like a unicorn. And Clancy – he’s almost as perfect as you could get.

From: The Humdinger was found in Ireland

by David Tatlow, The Philanderer came from Steve Pitt, and Clancy was bought from his breeders Peter and Sally Hobbs.

The Humdinger was crowned HOYS coloured horse of the year four times

Spencer takes an alpine break at the wedding of Laura Bechtolsheimer, celebrates a new arrival – and looks forward to a few shopping trips in search of his next star

T

he past few weeks have been pretty full on tackling the challenges of fine-tuning the final stages of the new yard, so it was a welcome break to be invited for a long weekend away to attend my good friend Laura Bechtolsheimer’s wedding to international polo player Mark Tomlinson in Switzerland.

I’ve known Laura for the past 10 years and we share a lot in common.

We enjoy socialising either in the local pub, or at home when Laura pops round for supper and a catch up, especially when I cook her favourite and my speciality of macaroni cheese!

We flew to Zurich and from there transferred to the ski resort of Arosa, where Laura’s grandfather Karl-Heinz Kipp owns the magnificent Tschuggen Grand Hotel, where the wedding reception was taking place. On the first night we took a chairlift to the top of the mountain where we enjoyed some delicious Swiss specialities in a glass fronted restaurant which overlooked the valley with breathtaking views and then went sledging in the dark which was good fun!

The resort is in a stunning setting and the whole weekend was bathed in sunlight with beautiful blue skies – I even managed to sunbathe on the balcony in the afternoons.

I also enjoyed going skiing for the first time in 26 years – it was a bit nerve wracking at first, but thankfully there were no broken bones and after a few tentative steps, it felt like I’d picked up where I’d left off so I’ve definitely been bitten by the skiing bug again!

Laura’s wedding was beautiful and of course she looked stunning – it was a really

TOP TIPS

Spencer’s advice on buying and selling a horse:

l Never be tempted to buy a competition horse without a full five-stage vetting. l Spend as much as you can afford on a full set of X-rays – like buying a house, it’s better to know about any problems up front. l Remember, X-rays should include images of feet, fetlocks, stifles, hocks and back.

Spencer has been fine-tuning his new Gloucestershire-based yard

memorable day and it was enjoyable meeting the fascinating mix of guests from all over Europe.

Home again, and it was straight back into work with the horses and overseeing the last few tweaks to the yard renovations.

I’m pleased to report that the horses are all in great shape and going well.

Zamboucca and Doogie are entered for their first Prix St Georges tests of the season, while Neville [Super Nova] will come out again a bit later in the year.

Zamboucca is also the proud father of a beautiful colt foal out of a Sandro Hit mare, which arrived last month – he’s stunning as he’s black with a white star – a perfect combination. As co-owners, Jen [Goodman] and I are really excited to see how he develops.

The other really exciting news is that 18-year-old Mimi [Maryam Alkalifa], who is based with us, won the Novice restricted section at Addington winter regionals and so qualified for the NAF Five Star Winter Championships at Hartpury.

She’s only ridden in about 10 competitions to date and didn’t have the easiest time in the warm-up as her horse can be a bit sensitive in busy warm up arenas, but I was so proud of her as she kept her cool and rode

a clever, careful test to win.

Now I’m getting butterflies at the thought of them competing at Hartpury, I’ll let you know how things went next month!

And there’s more good news – I’m on the look-out for a nice young horse to buy as a future international prospect.

I admit I don’t like horse shopping and find it an emotional roller-coaster at the best of times, but you’ve got to bite the bullet and get on with it.

So I’ve started putting the word out and getting some DVDs sent in and we’ll see what comes up. Ideally I’m looking for something ages between five and seven and preferably a gelding.

The main thing is to try and find a horse which is put together correctly and has the right body shape with good limbs and a leg at each corner and everything where it should be so that it makes it easy for the horse to be uphill.

The other important factor is a good temperament and of course trainability – it’s a very definite shopping list but I’m confident that the right horse is out there somewhere – if you hear of anything that you think might fit my dream wish-list, please let me know! HD Tel: 01733 468000

Vetting explained essential BUYinG aDViCe

Having a horse vetted before you buy him is an essential safeguard.

Here, we explain the different stages

R BUYING ADVICE

The standard examination is conducted in five stages, although the first two stages may also be performed as a stand-alone examination – or a ‘two-stage vetting’.

There are limitations to the examination, not least that it provides a picture on one day only, and can’t reveal if the horse has been lame or will be in the future. It also doesn’t include a pregnancy test, and vets won’t provide a height measurement, as this must be done on a proper pad and can have a significant influence on the horse’s value.

Vices are not necessarily detectable during the examination. However, if vices, or evidence of vices – such as windsucking – are observed during the examination they are reported to the purchaser, recorded on the certificate and taken into account in the concluding opinion.

The stages Stage 1: Preliminary examination

This is a thorough external examination of the animal at rest using visual observation, palpation and manipulation to detect clinically apparent signs of injury, disease or physical abnormality. It includes an examination of the incisor teeth, a thorough examination of the horse’s eyes in a darkened area and listening to the horse’s heart and lungs at rest.

Stage 2: Walk and trot in-hand

The animal is walked and then trotted in hand to detect abnormalities of gait and action. Ideally this is carried out on firm, level

A five-stage vetting is recommended before you buy

30 MAY 2013 Horse Deals

Words: JAne CArleY

The examination

ground. The horse is turned sharply each way and is backed for a few paces. Flexion tests of all four limbs and trotting in a circle on a firm surface may be carried out if the examining veterinary surgeon considers it safe and appropriate to do so.

Stage 3: Exercise phase

The horse is usually ridden and given sufficient exercise to allow assessment when it has an increased breathing effort and an increased heart rate. Its gait is also assessed at walk, trot, canter and, if appropriate, gallop.

Stage 4: Period of rest and re-examination

The horse is allowed to stand quietly for a period. During this time the respiratory and cardiovascular systems may be monitored as they return to their resting levels.

Stage 5: Second trot-up

The horse is trotted in-hand again to look for any signs of strains or injuries made evident by the exercise and rest stages.

The results The certificate reports the findings of the examination, including all significant signs of disease, injury or physical abnormality. It also includes the examining vet’s opinion as to whether or not, on the balance of probabilities, those findings prejudice the horse’s suitability for its intended use.

If the vet considers that the horse’s clinical history represents a greater than normal risk of it developing future problems (ie recurrence or delayed consequences of a prior condition), this is indicated on the certificate along with an explanatory note. Despite such observations, the horse may nevertheless be suitable for purchase based on a risk/ benefit analysis. HD

Be prepared

If you’re selling a horse, in order to give the best chance of a successful vetting you should provide: l A clean, mud-free horse. l Somewhere flat to trot the horse up in a straight line. l For a five-stage vetting, somewhere to see the horse ridden – a field may be adequate, but a school is ideal. l A handler and/or rider for the horse. l A dark stable to allow examination of the eyes. l Ideally the horse should be kept in for 24 hours before the examination so that any stiffness/lameness that could work off with exercise is apparent. l For clear guidelines on the pre-purchase veterinary examination, which are summarised above, visit www.beva.org.uk/ppeinfo

Health check: joint solutions EXPERT VET ADVICE

R BUYING ADVICE

Horse Deals’ vet Charlie Pinkham explains the diagnosis and treatment of bone spavins – a joint disease commonly found in middle aged and older horses, and something to be aware of when buying a veteran

B

one spavin is a common concern for people buying middle aged and older horses. Here, I’ll set out the facts about bone spavin, which will hopefully help your decision making if you come across the condition.

Bone spavin is one of the most common forms of hind limb lameness. It mostly occurs in middle aged to older horses, though it also occurs occasionally in young horses.

It’s seen more often in a horse who’s ‘done a lot of miles’.

It starts as a degenerative joint disease of the lower joints of the hock, which leads to osteoarthritis. The condition often occurs in both the left and right hind legs at the same time, and is caused by wear and tear within the joints. Certain disciplines, such as show jumping and eventing, require repeated significant force and flexion through the hock, which can predispose the joints to injury.

Excessive tension passed through the ligaments at the front of the hock is also thought play a part in the condition.

If the horse has poor hock conformation it is particularly at risk. Particular conformations that are most undesirable are ‘sickle hocks’, where the horse’s cannons angle forward so the feet end up well underneath the horse when it’s looked at from the side; and ‘cow hocks’, where the hocks are close and the feet splay out when looked at from behind.

Spot the signs The degree of lameness seen varies, but it often starts off as a low grade intermittent lameness or a stiffness that can improve with exercise. Owners describe decreased performance, for example having fences down where they didn’t previously, a weak, short action and poor changes. Toe dragging and scuffing at the toe can be seen as a result of decreased limb flexion. Sometimes owners also report a bad back, which can occasionally occur secondary to the bone spavin.

When examining a horse suspected of having bone spavin, swelling might be seen over the inside of the lower hock, sometimes called ‘the seat of spavin’, and filling might be seen within the actual joint.

Flexion tests can be performed to help with a diagnosis. It should be noted that because 32 MAY 2013 HORSE DEALS

flexion tests flex most of the limb, not just the hock, a positive flexion test only supports a diagnosis of bone spavin and doesn’t confirm it. It should also be noted that a mildly positive flexion test can be normal in some horses.

To obtain a definitive diagnosis the lameness must be localised to the hock by using joint injections of local anaesthetic. Imaging techniques can then be used to assess the extent and severity of the disease.

Diagnosis and treatment X-rays of the hock can show a number of signs suggestive of ongoing arthritis. You might see thinning of the joint space due to a reduction in the cartilage levels in the joint, a hardening and remodelling of the lower hock bones, and new bone formation resulting in spurs of bone around the joint. In long standing cases there is eventually fusion of the bones within the lower hock joints.

In cases with complicated lameness, scintigraphy is sometimes used to find out exactly where the problem is with the images

highlighting areas of high bone turnover, such as around joints with osteoarthritis.

There are various treatment options for bone spavin and the decision as to which route to take is based on the severity of the lameness, the outcome required and the cost of different treatments.

Unfortunately, because osteoarthritis is a progressive disease, if it is left untreated the condition will get worse over time, and even with treatment the progression of the disease may only be slowed.

In mild cases that have a light workload anti-inflammatories and painkillers, such as phenylbutazone (bute), used alongside a controlled exercise program may be sufficient to manage the disease. Although, as I mentioned above, this may not slow down the progression of the disease.

In horses that are competing, the most common treatment is injecting the affected joints with anti-inflammatories, such as steroids, which can allow a temporary reprieve and allow the horse to continue to compete. However, how long these treatments work for is variable, and they may need to be repeated.

Additional treatments include using drugs such as PSGAGs (polysulphated glycosaminoglycans) or hyaluronan, which aim to provide the building blocks for cartilage growth and have an anti-inflammatory action. Oral feed supplements can also be used, such as those

If the condition is diagnosed early and a suitable exercise program established, affected horses can be successfully managed

EXPERT VET ADVICE

R

GOLDEN RULES When visiting a potential horse to buy – whatever his age or health issues – first impressions go a long way, especially when it comes to assessing any possible problems.

So look out for the following:

● The horse should look bright eyed and perky, with a shiny coat. ● He should look alert and interested, and greet you as a friend. ● The inside of his gums and nostrils should be pink without discoloured mucus or discharge. ● He should stand up square without pointing or resting a front leg. ● His droppings should look ‘normal’ in colour and consistency. ● At rest, he should breathe easily without coughing. ● He should appear well muscled and the right weight for his type. ● Ask if he needs any special shoeing and check his hooves well trimmed. ● All four legs should feel cool, with no swellings. ● Check he has had regular check-ups with the dentist, physio, chiropractor and saddle fitter.

Show jumping can put strain on the hock and predispose this area to injury and disease

containing high levels of chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine. These may be beneficial as part of the whole treatment program.

Long-term management In severe long-standing cases, where other treatment options have failed, one method of improving the lameness is to actively cause fusion of the joints of the lower hock. Unlike the upper hock joint very little movement is seen in these joints and horses tolerate the procedure well.

There are a number of methods to achieve this, including surgical techniques and various joint injections. A recent report has also reported the use of Tiludronate, a drug which slows down bone resorpbtion, for the treatment of bone spavin. It is an expensive treatment but it may offer an alternative to the above treatments.

In terms of management of a horse with bone spavin, there are two other important considerations.

WWW.HORSEDEALS.CO.UK

The first is getting the farriery right.

The most common practice is to roll the toe to help break-over, but cases must be assessed on an individual basis. A team approach is important to get the best results with discussion between the vet, farrier and owner.

Finally, as with people with arthritis, getting the level of exercise right is important.

Regular exercise at a level where you are not causing more damage is key.

In more severe cases horses will need to

reduce the intensity of their exercise and probably have to drop down to a lower level if competing, but if the condition is diagnosed early, managed correctly and a suitable exercise program is established, then horses with the condition can be successfully managed for many seasons and continue to compete to a high level.

Selling a horse?

We explain the legal issues to consider when selling a horse, with advice from the experts at HorseSolicitor

T

he legal issues that need to be considered when selling a horse vary depending on whether or not the horse is being sold in the course of business or by a private seller.

When selling a horse in the course of business, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 imposes terms that require the horse to be fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. This means that if a buyer can prove that the horse is not fit for purpose the seller is legally obliged to refund the financial losses that have been incurred by the buyer as a result of the sale. This will include but not be limited to the purchase price. Under the Act for example a horse could be returned to the seller if it was purchased for show jumping but it transpired that it suffered from a pre-existing back condition that prevented it from performing.

The buyer would need to prove that the horse is not of satisfactory quality by obtaining a veterinary report, the cost of which could be added to the claim against the seller. The veterinary expert would only need to state that on the balance of probabilities the injury pre-dated the purchase.

When selling a horse in a private sale it is up to the buyer to check that the horse is of satisfactory quality. As the seller you do not have to disclose known defects but you must not mislead the buyer in any way by

SELLING ADVICE it’s advisable to have a written agreement Hanna Campbell misrepresenting the horse. If the buyer can show that a statement was made by the seller that was false or misleading, that the seller made the statement to induce a sale and that had the seller not made said statement the buyer would not have purchased the horse then the buyer will have a claim against the seller for misrepresentation.

The seller does not have to make a statement in order to mislead however. If the buyer tells the seller that they want the horse as a quite hack because they are a novice and the seller is aware that the horse can be strong and requires a competent rider then there is a legal duty to disclose this to the buyer. As such remaining silent can give rise to a claim for misrepresentation. At HorseSolicitor we have dealt with a number of cases in which the rider has been over horsed.

If misrepresentation is proven and the horse has caused injury the seller may have to meet a compensation claim.

The seller in the course of a private sale also needs to ensure that the horse is as described as per Section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act. It is therefore important to ensure that the advertisement placed accurately depicts the horse that is being sold in terms of it’s age, size, history, ability and temperament.

There are also occasions where a private seller would have a duty to disclose information in the course of a private sale without being asked. This would occur if the person selling the horse is known to the buyer and has a relationship in which trust is

assumed. In these circumstances a fiduciary duty can be implied.

The seller should insist on the buyer riding the horse to ensure that it cannot be returned under the Distance Selling Regulations. The Distance Selling Regulations enables a buyer to return a horse with no valid reason.

Insisting on the buyer meeting the horse prior to sale also enables them to ride the horse and assess whether or not it is for them. If someone is buying a horse for a specific purpose such as for dressage or jumping they should ride it in an arena or go over a few jumps. By meeting the horse the buyer is given the opportunity to gain an insight to the horse’s temperament and this can help to avoid disputes after sale.

Whether you are selling in the course of business or privately it is always advisable to have a written agreement that documents all of the existing issues that the horse has.

The document should give a detailed description of the horse that is being sold. It should include details of the horse’s age, vices, temperament, ability, history and any ailments that it has. Both parties should sign the document and the seller should answer honestly all questions that the buyer has about the horse. HD

GOLDEN RULES l “Whatever the size of your purchase, conformation, movement and temperament are still big considerations,” says Di Johnston.

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

I

n the same week, Di Johnston arranged for two of her Parlington Stud miniature Shetland ponies to go to a new owner in India, welcomed visitors from Holland eager to buy into her bloodlines and advised and welcomed visitors from all over the UK. Add the day to day care of looking after and handling around 100 ponies – mares and foals, stallions and youngstock – and you’ve got a way of life rather than a business. Parlington ponies go into all walks of life, but whether Di’s selling a child’s first pony or a future champion, her paramount concern is a pony’s welfare.

“A lot of sales are to people who have had horses,” she says. “But some are new to it, so you need to be careful. Before anyone sees any of the ponies, I find out whether they are aware of potential problems, such as laminitis.”

The stud, which goes back 50 years to ponies bought by Di’s mother, Barbara Braithwaite, is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the ponies live on the hills. She’s never had a case of laminitis there. But, as she explains, if a pony is moved to an area with richer grazing, correct management is vital.

There is a wide market for her stock, which are much more than lawnmowers on four legs or cute pets. She and her partner,

Some go aS firSt ponieS for children and we’re very careful to only let people have oneS we’re Sure will be Suitable’ - Di Johnston Wilf Plews, breed mostly miniatures and many go on to lead active lives.

Some are ridden or driven, many are shown and some are bought as companions for other equines. Because her own ponies have been so successful in the show ring, and because they are renowned for their good temperament and lineage, they are also popular with other breeders.

“Some go as first ponies for children and we’re very careful to only let people have ones we’re sure will be suitable,” says Di. All ponies are handled correctly, which is part of her success: they may be small, but they must be treated like proper ponies rather than cute balls of fluff.

Di also gets great satisfaction when her ponies help older children and adults who love horses, but are nervous of riding, to build their confidence.

A perfect example is the girl who was a nervous rider, but was desperate to have a pony. “She started off enjoying grooming one of our ponies and taking him for walks, and ended up showing him really successfully,”

Top: Di with two of her champion ponies – Parlington Zafirah (left) and Quentin (right) Above: a selection of the ponies Di and partner Wilf Plews have produced 40 May 2013 Horse Deals

says Di. “It’s lovely when that happens.”

Others are bought by people who may have had horses all their lives and, for various reasons, are no longer able to ride.

“One lady was an event rider until she had a bad accident and was told that if she had another one, that was it,” says Di. “She bought two ponies and treated them just like mini eventers, keeping them fit and in fabulous condition. She did really well showing them, because they looked and went so well. In fact, I ended up buying one back as a stud stallion!”

In the USA, miniature ponies are trained as the equine equivalent of guide dogs. Di says this hasn’t happened so far in the UK, but she has seen fantastic results when her ponies have gone to children on the autistic spectrum, or with learning difficulties.

The ponies are intelligent and love learning. One of Di’s friends, who is an expert in clicker training, bought a youngster called Willoughby and trained him with this method; the result can be found on the MultiAnimalCrackers channel on YouTube.

These are ponies for taking seriously as well as for fun. “I like my ponies to be in proportion, and to be good movers,” she says. “A lot of people say they’re true to type.

Stallion of the month

Meet Habanero XLI, the outstanding proven dressage stallion, who is also one of less than 30 black Calificado graded PRE stallions in the world

A

s one of the leading breeders and producers of the PRE (Andalucian) horses for more than 20 years, Naomi Vance-Webb of Meadowbrook PRE Stud in Surrey, is a passionate ambassador and authority on this noble breed.

From its ancient origins as a war horse chosen for intelligence and agility, in modern times this breed is increasingly much sought after on the international dressage stage.

According to Naomi, who bought the magnificent 14-year-old black Calificado stallion Habanero XLI in 2010, the most important criteria when selecting a stallion is type, movement and temperament, which 44 May 2013 Horse Deals

Habanero XLI has in abundance.

“We are lucky enough to have the only Calificado stallion in the UK who is also one of less than 30 black Calificado elite graded PRE stallions in the world,” says Naomi. “This elevated breeding status allows his progeny to be registered into the stud book when reproduced by AI. “The Calificado status requires significant assessment by a panel of specially selected judges in Spain and covers three separate sections which are a complete clinical assessment, including a full set of clean X-rays, conformation and ridden assessment, which Habanero achieved when he was just five years old.”

Tel: 01733 468000

FEATURED STALLION

Bred by Jose Delgado Zaforteza in Barcelona, Habanero is graded with several of the leading studbooks, including ANCCE (Asociacion Nacional De Criadores De Caballos De Pura Raza Espanola) and BAPSH (British Association For The Purebred Spanish horse, allied to ANCCE. In his first UK outing in 2010 at the UK National Breed Championships, Habanero won every class he entered, including the seven-year-old-plus stallions class, joint highest Movement, Reserve National Champion Stallion and overall UK National Functionality Champion (combined Morphology, Movement and ridden sections).

Having more than proved his superior status in the show ring, he went on to also forge a successful dressage career at top level.

Having competed in showing and dressage in his native Spain, Habanero has competed up to intermediate I level in the UK and will be ridden by international dressage rider Amy Stovold this season.

In 2012, Habanero was seventh in the Prix St Georges Freestyle at the Espayo British Dressage National Championships in 2012 (the highest result ever achieved by a Spanish horse in the UK) and selected to represent Britain at Hartpury CDI3* with Andrew Gould (the only PRE horse to ever be selected to represent GB in an international 3* dressage competition).

According to Naomi, Habanero’s movement, type and outstanding temperament make him a the ideal choice for any mare.

“In my opinion, there is not a mare I wouldn’t cover with him,” she says. “He is unusual in that he has an excellent walk, great extension to his very powerful trot and a fabulous rhythmical canter, so his paces are not what one would typically imagine of a Spanish horse.

“He has everything – looks, power, movement, temperament and almost, most importantly, trainability.

“I have had a lot of stallions in the past, but Habanero is a true gentleman in every sense of the word,” she says. “The superior grading status he achieved at aged only five, confirms how important he is in the PRE world.”

Since Naomi bought Habanero three years ago, she has sold his semen all over the world, and he has offspring in USA, NZ, Australia, Germany, Sweden, UK and of course Spain.

According to Naomi, all offspring have inherited his beautiful head and outstanding movement, as well as his presence and temperament.

“To find a horse with that ‘look at me’ attitude that is so gentle, is quite rare!” she says. “One of the largest breeders in the USA had a foal by him in 2012 (named Londres as a tribute to our Olympic Games) and she said he is the best foal, by far, of all those she bred in 2012.

“The majority of his offspring are being used for either dressage or showing and as foundation stallions and mares for other stud www.HorseDeals.co.uk

He is a truly noble cHaracter - tHe gentlest and kindest Horse i Have ever known’ - Naomi Vance-Webb farms across the world, although the oldest of his sons is still only eight years old (and in the UK). This particular horse was purchased for our own UK driving world champion Karen Scott-Barrett and was used as one of her pairs.

“One of his daughters is champion mare of Australia and he has several sons and daughters in the USA winning in the show ring. Most are being used for breeding as his bloodlines are very sought after and he is rare in his correctness for a PRE. “He has a large number of offspring in Spain which are being produced for dressage and

the show ring, including at the world championships in Seville (Sicab).”

With more than 160 foals already on the ground so far, Habanero is proving a popular choice worldwide and one of the most prolific PRE sires of his generation in the world.

“He is a truly noble character – the gentlest and kindest horse I have ever known,” says Naomi proudly. “Andrew Gould’s six-year-old son has ridden him and he has also been ridden by a very disabled lady who had lost her confidence. He really is the perfect gentleman.” HD

DUCAL DANCING COMET - £500 NFFR

2000 Black/Roan 16.2hh

2004 Bright Bay Sports Horse 15.2hh 9.5”bone

Zilver Ego is AES approved by Renkum Eireann our of Renkum Iranta and line bred to Nimmedor. Zilver Ego is a powerful compact horse with outstanding paces and a huge scopey jump. He has a fantastic temperament and a very trainable mind. Zilver Ego’s dam Renkum Iranta is by Renkum Arturo out of the great Renkum Woudina (by Nimmedor). She is the dam of 3 Grade A’s and two approved stallions including the Irish International team horse Ringfort Cruise. Renkum Iranta is a full sister to elite Grand Prix stallion Renkum Englishman.

Zilver Ego’s sire Renkum Eireann is a Grade A show jumper jumping 1.30/1.40m classes with ease. He has everything you could look for in a stallion: looks, temperament, jumping ability and movement, with all these attributes he could turn his hand to showjumping, dressage or eventing. We hope he will pass all of these on to his offspring. Zilver Ego is a perfect sire for anyone wanting a horse which oozes talent and has a wonderful temperament. He is currently competing with Amy Poltinger and Grace Chattaway in BSJA.

Ducal Dancing Comet was retained by Ranby Hall Stud as his pedigree was already a winning one in show and sports horse breeding. In 2009 at the ZfdP Stallion Grading he was the only stallion to be awarded Premium and graded into the Deutches Reitpferde (Warmblood) Studbook I. In 2008 Comet was Reserve Champion of the SPSS Stallion grading behind his stablemate Ducal Flash Dance. He has had a sucessful career in the showring to date, following in the footsteps of his mother.

His dam, Get Set is a Champion winning sports horse mare who gain excellent marks on her grading by Jenny Loriston–Clarke / Mark Fittonwith 9 for carriage and elasticity and an overall average of 8+ gaining Head Stud book status. She also has State premium status from her grading with the German stud book ZFDP. Her dam the winning mare LabelonLady is from the strong female line of Paddy’s Princess and Padina Express witch including multiple international winners. His dams sire Keen is out of Doubly Sure who produced six multiple Group winning Horses, Keen is the sire of both flat, national hunt and sports horse winners competing world wide to the value of over one million pounds. There is now little argument about the need for further thoroughbred injection into breeding for both dressage and jumping to bring the lightness and sensitivity for top performance. Upsall Stud is delighted with this stallion and foresee him producing modern young horses with great movement. His sire Atlantic Dancer is Approved with SHBGB , and from very limited opportunity has consistently produced top drawer Champion County standard show stock in Hunter, Hack/Ride horse and Sports Horse classes, and performance stock in show jumping and eventing, competing in UK and USA. If Comet is half as successful as his father he will be world class. Comet is an outstanding mover, with a huge trot and an excellent walk and canter. His beautiful head, neck and temperament are a real bonus. Comet will be persuing his ridded career this year with Sarah Daniel in several spheres including Bs/Be.

WELCOME ZIDANE - £350 NFFR

DUCAL DESTINY - £500 NFFR

Welcome Zidane is a registered Irish Draught Stallion Class 2.

Sire is Gurraun Zidane and Dam is Clooneen Hollow Queen.

Welcome Zidane needs no introduction to his bloodlines, with such top lines on both sides! Welcome Zidane was purchased from ireland after a long task to find a quality ID with the ability to compete in bs/bd/be. Welcome Zidane hasnt let me down in this at all, he has a lovley neat carefull jump and three natural loose floating paces. Welcome Zidane has a second to none nature and can be handled by anyone, i hunt him all season and hes a true pleasure. Welcome Zidane has some lovley stock on the ground in ireland and we are expecting our first foal 2013. He crosses well with most types of mares as he himself is a atheletic type, but with having plenty of bone and substance he would also suit a lighter mare. He always passes on his lovley nature and stunning head.

Welcome Zidane was presented for grading as a three year old- he will be returned for re inspection 2013.

Ducal Destinys Sire - Reset (foaled in 2000) is an Australian-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire by the Leading sire in Australia and New Zealand, Zabeel out of the multiple Group One winner Assertive Lass.

In the Guineas, he narrowly defeated Starcraft, who went on to win two Group One races in Europe. Rather than continuing his career, Reset was sold at four years of age to Darley Stud, Australia. To date, his progeny include the Victoria and South Australian Derby winner Rebel Raider and highly-rated Saxford. 2011 Cox Plate Winner Pinker.

Breeding with

Shirley Light Top breeder Shirley Light gives us the latest news and views from Brendon Stud

A

s you’ll know from last month’s column, I’m now a bionic woman after my back operation. Even that didn’t go to plan – trust me!

My surgeon said I completely ruined his schedule because it took them five hours rather than the three he had anticipated. Even though I went into extra time, it’s too early to say whether it’s been a success or not.

All in all, we haven’t been doing too well at Brendon Stud, either. The most serious health issue is that of my nephew, who is our main tractor driver. He’s been hospitalised with blinding headaches and temporary paralysis; they think it could be some sort of migraine, but it’s very worrying.

Our other handyman has broken his ankle playing rugby, so we’re short-staffed. Luckily, Jim and Cait, who have worked for me for a good while now, are brilliant and know how the place runs.

We’ve got some good part-timers, too. Tractor drivers do need to be on the ball when haying horses in the fields!

It’s education time for our young horses – and it’s so important to have good riders.

They’re far more than just crash test dummies.

It’s hard not having Lou (Pavitt) at the moment, as we’ve worked together for five years, but we’re lucky to have her sister, Nicole. She’s being brilliant, and our new guy, Luke Barham, is keen and has a good feel for a horse.

Most jockeys can ride the top horses, but riding novices is an art. It’s the opposite of cars – anyone can drive a brand new automatic, but not every driver can manage an old banger that you need the knack to start, have to double de-clutch for certain gears and cope with dodgy brakes!

I look for riders who let novice horses travel forwards and will help them to a certain extent, but they must have a built-in radar and know when to sit still and when to ride for their lives. Youngsters will make mistakes and it’s always horrid to watch when it goes wrong, but a good jockey can make it a lot better.

Some youngsters do our clear round shows

R TOP TIP

l “I think you can tell how much heart and courage young horses have early on, but technique can change enormously,” says Shirley. “They can surprise you!”

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

as their first experience in a competition environment, but most will just jump the clear round before a British novice. I think it’s actually harder for them to do it at home – I think they can’t always work out why there are horses and lorries in ‘their’ arena.

We’re lucky as we have everything on site and they’ll do a few shows here before we go elsewhere, just for ease and cost. But although this saves on diesel, they go out to other places to learn about travelling.

As I write this, I have 21 foals by Paris – Don VHP Z – due. I also have two lovely threeyear-old colts by him that look exciting, and some yearling and two- year-olds. And I’m looking forward to seeing what the Klarins/ Paris embryos – the Klarises, as they are known – turn out like.

We still miss Paris terribly. He had the most wicked sense of humour and we’ve not found one to replace his funny antics yet. It’s great that his new rider, Saer Coulter, has bonded with him, but he’s irreplacable.

We also have to think of stable names for his and the other foals. Every year, we have a theme and this year it’s food. Probably a bit safer than other themes we’ve had, like drugs and wild animals!

We always think of names on our way to the Welsh Masters and have a good list.

The Klarises will probably by Krispy, Kreme and Ketchup. ’Til next month, happy foaling! HD

Fredericks Eventing with Lucinda

News from the eventing world from our columnist

R TOP TIP

l “A foal from proven bloodlines whose parents have both performed is always a good investment, even if you have to wait for it to grow up!” says Lucinda.

Nala, held by yard manager Jackie Hoon, with Heather Gilbert and her daughter, Emily

A

s I’m sure you’ll know, I’ve been in the headlines since my last column, though for the wrong reasons. A rotational fall from Rovello at Tweseldown left me with six broken ribs and a collarbone smashed into four pieces – but let me count my blessings.

First, I’m still here and Rovello is absolutely fine. Second, my lovely friends, including my staff and owners, have been amazing, and not only are we keeping everything going, we launched my new business this month.

Third, I have my wonderful daughter, Ellie; I know every mother says this, but she really is the best in the world.

I have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and practical help I’ve been offered. I’ve had so many messages of goodwill from total strangers and it’s great to have such support. I can’t thank you all enough.

The team at Frimley Park Hospital, Surrey, were brilliant at putting me back together and keeping the pain under control. My one regret is that the food in the unit where I stayed was lovely, but I had no appetite until the day I left so wasn’t able to enjoy it!

Friends came to see me and were able to

bring Ellie, but it was wonderful to come home. On my first evening, we enjoyed cottage pie cooked for us by Alice Page, one of my lovely owners. Nothing could have tasted better and Alice had left lots of things in the freezer for me – one of so many caring gestures from my friends.

We were all determined to minimise the effect of my accident on plans for the season.

It’s been hard work for Emz, my senior groom, who has been working my horses and also competing some of them.

Although she’s tired, because she’s riding up to nine horses a day, she’s enjoying herself: at least, that’s what she says! As you can see, she did a fantastic job competing Milly and Marley, Brit’s first embryo transfer babies, at Aldon.

As I write, the auction for Britannia’s Jubilee (Nala, see pic above) has finished and that for Britannia’s Pride (Simba) is running. Our great friends at Uptown Eventing, who organise the auctions, have done us and the foals proud.

Nala has been bought by Ben and Heather Gilbert for their daughter, Emily, so they are investing in the future twice over!

We wish them all luck and look forward

I’ve been In the headlInes sInce my last column – though for the wrong reasons! Lucinda Fredericks www.horsedeals.co.uk

to following Nala’s progress. My progress has been helped by a machine from Arc Equine, which, in a non-invasive way, mimics the natural electrical circuitry within the body and can help speed the healing process. I’m normally a bit sceptical about claims, but after just two days could feel the benefit.

I must admit I’m not very good at taking it easy. When you’ve got horses and a business to run, you can’t!

But while I need to have meetings and keep everything on track, there are plenty of people making sure I don’t overdo it – well, that I don’t overdo it by too much.

The weather has been so bad that many riders in the UK are having to re-think their schedules. My plans as I write are to re-route my top horses to Luhmuhlen and Burghley Horse Trials, where appropriate.

You’ll also see a new logo on this page.

This heralds the start of my new business, Lucinda Fredericks Equestrian Ltd, and there’s a new website, www. lucindafredericks.com to complement the launch.

I’ll be working hard to maintain my position on the Australian team for the 2014 World Equestrian Games and, of course, will also be focussing on the 2016 Rio Olympics.

As far as you can with horses, you have to think ahead!

I’ll continue to offer all the high quality services we have at Rosegarth and my existing staff will all transfer to the new company.

I have fantastic backing from my team, owners and sponsors – it’s a time of change for all of us here and we’re looking forward to a successful future. HD may 2013 horse deals 61

Buying a show hunter essential BUYING ADVICE

R BUYERS’ GUIDE

S

how hunter and working hunter classes are usually regarded as the most prestigious on a county show schedule. It isn’t that these horses are any better than cobs, riding horses or show hacks, all of which have their devotees – it’s that they are the Rolls-Royce rides of showing.

Because there are so many categories in the hunter division, there is something for everyone. Be prepared to look hard and keep your fingers crossed for a little luck to go along with your judgement, because these horses are always in demand.

If you’re on a limited budget but have dedication, a certain amount of ability and are prepared to learn from the professionals, take heart. It’s still possible to find a champion in the raw, or, if you’re prepared to wait, to buy a youngster and show him in-hand before introducing him to a ridden career.

In fact, some people get huge pleasure from concentrating on the in-hand classes, though there’s a fine line between showing in-hand for enjoyment and as part of a horse’s education, and overdoing it. The most successful producers rarely show youngsters more than six or eight times a year.

Sorting the categories

Hunters fall into four categories – weight classes; ladies’ hunters; small hunters and working hunters.

The best known are the weight classes: lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight, which are categorised according to the maximum weight the horse should be able to carry.

A lightweight hunter should be capable of carrying up to 12st 7lbs, a middleweight between 12st 7lbs and 14 stone, and a heavyweight over 14 stone. There are no height limits and ‘ideal’ heights are a controversial issue, but at county level you’ll find lightweights are around 16.2hh and horses in the other weight categories will often be taller.

Ladies’ hunters should, as their name suggests, be able to carry a lady out hunting.

They are shown side-saddle and the most successful come into the lightweight or middleweight category.

May 2013 Horse Deals

If you find a lovely horse who doesn’t quite fit into either weight group, but is a true hunter type and carries, or has the potential to carry, a side-saddle, this class could be his niche.

And if you find one who is good enough to compete in ladies’ and weight classes, you are doubly blessed.

Small hunters are deservedly popular with amateur riders, as they are particularly versatile and often excel in other disciplines as well as showing. This is the only category with height limits: a small hunter must exceed 148cm but not exceed 158cm.

Really good small hunters are difficult to find. The ideal picture to keep in mind is a miniature middleweight.

Working hunters put the fun into showing for many riders. As well as fulfilling all the criteria of their flat counterparts, they must be able to jump cleanly, in balance and rhythm.

There are no height or weight specifications for workers beyond the fact that they must exceed 148cm. At county level, some shows split classes into lightweight and heavyweight sections, but the division isn’t as tightly proscribed. As with ladies’ hunters, this class gives a great opportunity to a true hunter type who falls between two weight categories.

You’ll often hear this sort of horse described as a ‘light middleweight’ or a ‘not quite’ horse,

TOP TIPS

meaning that he does not quite fit into one category or another.

However, there are many horses who tick both boxes and do equally well in flat and working classes. These are the real superstars!

A worker must, by definition, be able to jump. At local level, classes start at around 70cm, but if you’re aiming at county level you should be jumping Newcomers or even Foxhunter first round competitions with confidence.

Although most working hunters are 16.1hh upwards, there is nothing to stop the true, talented small hunter making his mark. In the past few years, there have been a few at top level who have frequently headed the line-ups.

l Remember, a show or working hunter must combine quality with sufficient substance. l He must be a true hunter type – not a riding horse with a plain head. l Movement must be straight, but many judges dislike pronounced elevation in the stride. l A show or working hunter must give the impression that he would be a comfortable, responsive ride across any country.

Type casting Hunters, as with all show horses, must be true to type. You’re looking for a horse who combines sufficient substance with quality, has excellent conformation and straight movement and gives you and the judge a great ride.

A hunter must never be common. As an example, you shouldn’t be able to look at a small hunter and think that if you hogged his mane, he’d almost be a cob.

A heavyweight hunter probably won’t have the same quality as a lightweight, though such paragons do exist and if you find one, you’re very lucky! While breeding doesn’t come into it, many judges feel nothing can beat a Thoroughbred with true substance, though they are like gold dust.

You’ll also see plenty of horses at top level who have a combination of Thoroughbred and Irish Draught breeding, and a good-looking pure-bred ID who moves well may be the ideal stamp of a heavyweight. Warmblood lines are becoming as influential in the show ring as elsewhere, but there is a difference between dressage and hunter movement.

A show hunter, even if he never sees a pack of hounds, should give you the impression and the feel that he could carry you across all sorts of terrain, meeting fences in his stride. Many judges dislike a really extravagant stride or a horse who has a lot of elevation in his step, feeling that this is not appropriate.

Conformation guidelines remain the same whatever type of horse you’re looking for, but be particularly careful about the quality of a hunter’s limbs. His forelegs should have short cannon bones and enough slope to the pasterns to absorb his movement, without the risk of his fetlock coming too close to the ground when he gallops.

For more information on buying and producing show horses and ponies in all categories, see the new book from J a allen – Katie Jerram on showing, by Katie Jerram and Carolyn Henderson.

l Small hunters make fun, versatile rides for amateur owners and can also compete in working hunter classes.

Jenna Tyldesley and lightweight show hunter Tudor Minstral Pic: Horse of the Year Show/Roberto Cubeddu

Judges may not penalise acquired blemishes in a worker, though will not tolerate those which are usually related to poor conformation, such as curbs. Be careful and get expert advice.

Feet are as important as limbs and you don’t want to see soup plates, or feet that look as if they belong to a pony on the limbs of a horse.

He must also have a well-set head and neck, a good length of rein and sufficient slope to his shoulder.

Even though many show hunters never see a pack of hounds, you want to feel that a hunter can carry you across all types of country and give a comfortable, obedient ride.

You don’t want to have to leg him on all the time, but nor should you feel you’re in danger of him tanking off!

If you aren’t sure whether a horse you’re interested in buying meets type specifications, get advice from a showing professional. It can be very disappointing to buy a lovely horse

Derek Morton and working hunter Keep Talking Pic: Horse of the Year Show/Roberto Cubeddu

72 May 2013 Horse Deals

l If you have visions of elegance, look for a ladies’ hunter to be ridden side-saddle. Both this and working hunter classes are a good avenue for a horse who falls between two weight categories.

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

and find that you don’t do as well as you’d hoped because judges feel he isn’t a proper hunter type.

The most common mistake is to buy a horse who is either more of a riding horse type and needs to switch categories, or who falls between the two and so isn’t a good example of either.

Amateur aspirations If you’re aiming to find a horse to compete on the county circuit and dream of qualifying for the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) and the Royal International Horse Show (RIHS), you’ll find that competition is probably even tougher than in most other categories.

As this level you’ll be riding in the ring alongside some of the best and best-known professionals, but look on it as an opportunity rather than something to be frightened of.

It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that hunter classes are for confident riders. They are held in the largest rings and you will have to gallop as a group, so make sure you are confident to do so.

The RIHS has special classes for amateur owner-riders which are hotly contested.

The standard is just as high as in open classes and lessons with a pro will stand you in good stead ahead of a class. HD Tel: 01733 468000

Insuring a competition horse essential BUYING ADVICE

R BUYING ADVICE

You’ve bought your dream competition horse and are looking forward to showing off his talent – but have you got the best equine health cover if things don’t go to plan?

Check out our essential guide to choosing the right insurance policy. . .

A

s with cover on all valuables, finding the right insurance for competition horses is one of the best investments you can make as it offers peace of mind and a financial cushion when faced with rocketing vet fees.

Whether you own a show jumper, eventer, dressage horse, showing star, treasured hunter or riding club all-rounder, it’s worth spending

time researching what’s on offer and choosing which policy will suit your needs best.

Most companies provide insurance policies which cover different types of use, as well as cover for the market value of your horse, depending on his veterinary history, success and purchase price.

With equine insurance, as with most things in life, you tend to get what you pay for.

Opting to buy a cheap policy to cover your horse for claims for low level veterinary fees or loss of use may not be the best value or the best choice for every individual.

So how do you choose which company offers the best service for your individual needs?

A good equine insurance company will pay out on claims quickly and doesn’t hide exclusions in the small print to avoid paying out in full on your insurance claim. They will also offer a helpful advice line and keep you informed on the progress of your claim.

Finding your way through the insurance maze isn’t easy, but word of mouth recommendations from other competition horse owners, or asking your vet’s opinion is a good place to start.

For high-value horses, you will be looking for the most comprehensive cover on offer – most companies will offer online quotes for horses up to about £15,000, but many will also have special policies for those valued above this amount, so it’s worth a call to their sales team or customer service helpline to discuss.

Which policy?

As a general rule you can’t insure for a value above the purchase price for a horse/pony that has been recently bought. Your insurance company is likely to advise you that they can review the value in say six months when you May 2013 Horse Deals

GOLDEN RULES l Make sure that the value you place on your competition horse is accurate and in line with the current market. l Check if your policy insures your horse against third party claims in case he’s involved in any damage to property or injury to a person in an accident. l Does your affiliating fee also includes third party liability cover or discounts for members? l Does your policy provide cover for legal advice in the event of a claim? l Depending on what level you are planning to compete, decide what level of veterinary cover you require, as well as the level of excess. l Insurance premiums will vary according to the level and type of competition. l Don’t forget to inform your insurance company as your horse moves up the levels of competition and training or changes direction.

with equine insurance, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for may have built up a successful competition record, which can be taken into account.

Most companies also offer customised policies which can be specifically tailored to owners’ requirements.

Starting with a basic policy, you can then choose to add on additional cover such as higher vet fees, permanent loss of use, personal accident and complementary therapies etc.

Basic policies will generally include mortality and theft as the starting point. This benefit will be the market value/agreed value of the insured horse and will be paid following the death or euthanasia of the horse or if the horse is lost or stolen and not found.

So that both the policyholder and insurer have a common set of guidelines to follow in the event of a mortality claim the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has put together guidelines for the Destruction of Horses Under All www.horsedeals.co.uk

Risks Of Mortality Insurance Policy.

In all insurance claims of this nature, the underwriters have to be satisfied that these guidelines have been followed in the event of a mortality claim

Cover for vet fees

With the cost of vet fees at an all time high, having the best veterinary cover you can afford can pay off in the long term. Most insurance companies will offer a wide range of different vet fee options so you can choose which cover suits your needs best, depending on your personal requirements.

As your horse gets older however, be aware that vet fee cover may become more limited, and you may only be able to obtain cover for what is referred to as ‘accidental external injuries’ only.

With vet fee cover you generally get what you pay for and the higher level of cover usually means that you have a lower excess to pay, a higher incident limit, will include cover or complementary treatments and may have a longer period of claim.

Many specialist equine insurance companies offer specific competition cover, which has a separate scale of vet fees classified, which tends to be higher than standard policies.

Cost of cover will also be influenced by the

type of discipline, as well as the level which a horse is competing, as underwriters are aware that there is more risk of injury the higher the level of training or competition, and even more so in activities where horses are judged to be more at risk, such as eventing or hunter trials.

Also, if your horse is initially covered for say novice level eventing or dressage and moves up the levels over the years, make sure you keep your insurance company informed of his progress as this could affect both cost and cover and you could be risking any future claims.

In addition to third party cover, many of the affiliated governing bodies offer a discount for members, so it’s also worth checking out these recommendations.

Buying the most suitable equine insurance policy provides reassurance that if your horse has an accident, falls ill, is stolen or causes damage to someone else’s property, you can make the best decisions alongside your vet on the most appropriate treatment to help ease the path to recovery – without breaking the bank.

EXPERT FEEDING ADVICE FROM

Feeding a competition horse Help improve your horse’s results and sustain his performance with advice from top nutritionist Lizzie Drury of Saracen Horse Feeds

A

s the competition season gets underway, by now any horse or pony who’s competing will be well into its fitness and feeding regime, with perhaps just ‘fine-tuning’ required. The ultimate aim is to have a horse who’s fit and in the ideal body condition for the job it’s being asked to do. Body condition scoring is a practical way to monitor body fat content, and learning how to do it accurately is vital.

The process of condition scoring involves taking the time to stand back and critically observe your horse. The second step involves feeling your horse with your hands. Areas to feel include the neck and shoulder, withers, back and loins, hindquarters and ribs. On a condition score chart of 1-9, where a score of 1 indicates very poor and a score of 9 indicates very fat, a horse in show condition should ideally have a condition score of 5-6 and event horses closer to 4-4.5 (for more on condition scoring contact Saracen Horse Feeds).

Excitable horses usually benefit from a concentrate feed based on digestible fibres, such as soya hulls, alfalfa and sugar beet (Saracen RE-LEVE® or Show Improver Pencils).

The way in which these feeds are digested in the horse’s gut means energy is provided slowly. To ensure your horse is receiving all of the vitamins and minerals he requires for optimum health make sure you’re feeding the manufacturer’s recommended amounts.

If your horse gets fat just looking at a bag of feed, or is prone to laminitis, the recommended feeding amounts for these types of feeds may provide too many calories. In these situations opt for low calorie performance feed balancers, such as Saracen STAMM 30®, which provide all the essential trace elements and quality protein, but without the calories.

for more o the Sarace n n range

For more laid back horses, traditional conditioning or performance feeds, such as Saracen Show Improver Mix or Enduro 100, will encourage more ‘lift and elevation’ without silly behaviour. Feeds such as these use a variety of cereals, which are micronised to increase digestibility and will provide the energy for work. Providing cereal-based feeds are fed in sensible quantities and not in one or two large meals, horses can digest them efficiently with no ill-effects. As a general rule, concentrate meal size should not exceed 2kg for a horse and 1kg for a pony.

Oil is frequently added to horses’ diets to give extra gleam to the coat, increase the calorie density of a diet (without the need to feed larger amounts of concentrate feed), provide essential fatty acids and help increase stamina.

Alternatives to liquid fat supplements are now available in the form of pelleted rice bran, eg EQUI-JEWEL®. Rice bran has four to six times more fat than maize or oats. Supplements such as these are cleaner and easier to use than oils and are usually fed at between 1-2lbs per day (6-8lbs of EQUI-JEWEL® would provide the equivalent energy level of 750 ml of oil). In its natural state rice bran is abundant in phosphorous, so it’s essential to use rice bran products that have a balanced calcium to phosphorous ratio. Fat supplements such as EQUI-JEWEL® also have added vitamin E and selenium, making feeding easier.

Days spent at competitions will mean that your horse’s normal routine will change with respect to feeding times and access to forage.

This will increase the risk of gastric ulcers. On top of this there will also be the stress of

travelling. All of these can potentially play havoc with the horse’s digestive system.

However, the following tips may help: ● Avoid feeding concentrate feed directly before or after a journey ● Offer frequent feedings of forage or buckets of alfalfa. Alfalfa is high in calcium, a natural antacid that can help neutralise some of the acid production in the stomach. Strategic use of an antacid supplement such as KERx Rite Trac™ will help neutralise the acid and coat the stomach lining to prevent ulcer formation, or help to alleviate the effects of any lesions that are present. Calcium will also help to replace lost calcium in the sweat, while the quality protein will help support cell renewal, tissue and muscle repair ● If you are going on a long journey and will be away several days, consider providing additional nutritional support for the immune system. Natural vitamin E supplements, such as KERx Nano E™ can be given three days prior to travelling, during competition, and for three days post travelling. Vitamin E contributes to the well-being of the horse, and plays a vital role in immune, cardiovascular and circulatory functions ● When travelling offer frequent watering stops to help keep your horse hydrated. If your horse is fussy about drinking when travelling try using flavoured water or soaked sugar beet water, which is rarely refused! Of course these methods should be tried and tested at home first. A horse who is properly hydrated will perform better and delay the onset of fatigue and reduce the risk of problems such as tying up. Good quality forage also helps to increase water intake. Horses will drink within an hour after given hay HD Tel: 01733 468000

Buying a horse ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

As a potential new horse owner it’s wise to be aware of your legal rights, as the experts at specialist law firm HorseSolicitor explain

T

he basic rule in English law is caveat emptor – let the buyer beware. It is the purchaser’s obligation to exercise due diligence and ensure he/she is getting what he/she is paying for. However in the course of a sale the seller is not entitled to misrepresent. This means that the seller cannot tell lies to obtain a sale.

Unless a person has misled you in respect of something such as the health, temperament or ability of the horse that they are selling, a buyer in a private sale would have no recourse. Further, misled does not mean merely staying silent as to a known problem that the horse has – the seller would actually have had to mislead you and you would have to be able to prove the same in order to make a successful claim for misrepresentation. You would also have to demonstrate that the false statement induced you to enter the contract.

This means you need to show that had you

not been given false information you would not have proceeded with the purchase.

Due to the fact that in the course of a private sale you have no recourse if the seller merely failed to tell you about an ailment that the horse has, claims in misrepresentation can be difficult to prove.

It often comes down to the buyer’s word against the seller’s. It is therefore advisable to have the seller complete and sign a form detailing a list of specific questions in relation to the wellbeing, ability and temperament of the horse. Ask that he/she signs the same. If it later transpires that the horse is not as represented it is not a case of your word against his/hers as to what was said in the course of the sale, you would have evidence to bring a claim.

It is also advisable to keep a copy of the advertisement that was placed if this is how you came across the horse.

Take precautions We would strongly advise that you have the horse vetted and ride the horse a number of times in various situations prior to purchase.

This is not a legal requirement but far too often HorseSolicitor is contacted by buyers who are shocked to find out that the horse they thought they were purchasing is not suitable. It is far better to spend the time and money ensuring as far as possible that the horse is suitable rather than having to seek legal representation having found out that you have bought a horse that is unsuitable or unsound.

It might be that the seller is genuinely not aware of any problems the horse has but that there are underlying health issues. As such, it is important to have a horse vetted prior to purchase to ensure, as far as is possible, that you are not going to run into problems. This is not a legal requirement, but as specialist

PIC: ZOE WILSHER

BUYERS’ ADVICE equine solicitors we regularly have enquiries from individuals that have bought a horse without having had it vetted wanting to know what their legal rights are. We are often asked whether or not the horse can be returned when a problem arises. Clearly if the horse was purchased in the course of a private sale and there are no grounds for a claim in misrepresentation we are unable to assist.

A veterinary examination is not expensive when compared to the potential vet bills that could be incurred by failing to proceed with a vetting. Further the cost of keeping a horse that cannot be ridden can be extremely frustrating when you are told that a veterinary examination could have avoided this.

If the vet misses something that he/she should have spotted on a veterinary examination you would potentially have a case for professional negligence. We regularly deal with such matters and would always advise that you ensure that the horse is vetted by a specialist equine vet as opposed to a vet who also deals in small animals.

Buying from a dealer When the seller is selling in the course of business, the harshness of the rule caveat emptor is tempered by the Sale of Goods Act 1979, which implies into the contract various terms to ensure that the goods are of satisfactory quality.

Goods are deemed of satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking account of any description of the goods, the price and all the other relevant circumstances.

If for example a horse was purchased from a dealer as a competition horse in the course of business and it transpired that the horse would not load on to a trailer/lorry there would be a potential claim under the Sales of Goods Act. The argument would be that the horse is not

fit for purpose because the dealer was aware that you intended competing the horse yet you are unable to transport it to a show.

You have far more protection when buying from a dealer than you do when buying from a private seller. This does not mean that the precautions stated above should not be taken. You do not always know whether or not the dealer would have the means to pay out were you to bring a claim against him/her and it always best to avoid litigation when possible.

When things go wrong If you have taken the above steps yet you still find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to pursue a claim, you will be pleased to hear that the majority of claims settle out of court. Whether you are pursuing a dealer under the Sales of Goods Act or a claim for misrepresentation if your losses are in excess of £5,000 you would be able to instruct a solicitor on a no-win no-fee basis providing the solicitor deems you to have above a 50% prospect of success.

If the claim proves successful you should be entitled to keep 100% of your compensation and the solicitor should recover his/her costs from your opponent.

If you were unsuccessful the solicitor should write off his/her costs and you should pay nothing.

If you paid less than £5,000 for the horse the solicitor would not be entitled to recover his/her costs from the other side which means that you may wish to pursue the matter yourself through the small Your perfect equine partner could be hiding in this issue of Horse Deals – but always take common sense precautions when buying

claims court rather than paying a solicitor to act on a private hourly rate. Alternatively, if you have home contents insurance or other insurance policies you may well benefit from free legal expense cover, which means that providing the panel firm of solicitors informs the insurer that you have above 50% prospects of success they should act for you for free even if your loss is not above £5,000.

Passport control Having bought the horse, it is vital you notify the Horse Passport Agency to avoid a fine.

It is also advisable to ensure that you have adequate public liability insurance in place.

While this is not a legal requisite, failure to do so may result in you becoming personally liable for a claim were your horse to cause a serious accident.

While some people are hesitant to take out insurance because they feel that insurance companies may look for a way of avoiding payment, providing you have not misrepresented anything to them and under the terms of the contract you have a valid claim, there are ways of enforcing compensation for breach of contract.

As a horse owner you will of course have responsibilities under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Failure to adhere to the welfare requirements stipulated within the Act can result in a maximum fine of £20,000 or sentence of up to six months in prison. HD

essential BUYING ADVICE

Buying a house with land R Expert advice to help you pick your way through the estate agents’ leaflets and find the right equestrian property for you

Location

Ensure the property is easily accessible and with good hacking, whether along country lanes or bridleways. “Always go to see the property around the time you would be riding out as it may be situated on a ‘rat-run’ used by early morning commuters,” advises Susie King, Associate Partner and Equestrian Consultant of Balfours LLP. Susie also recommends checking out the neighbours. “Use Google Earth to take a bird’s eye view of the property and the surrounding area,” she says. “Look for chicken farms, pig farms or anything which may decrease the capital value of the property.”

Graham Hain of Rural and Equestrian agrees. “What is the neighbouring land used for?” he asks. “Could there be possible contamination from neighbouring livestock or sprays, etc. And are the neighbouring

properties horse-friendly, or do they have barbed wire fencing, excitable, barking dogs and quad bike riders?”

Flight paths and MoD training areas can also be potential ‘spook’ hazards. Susie also recommends looking for any signs of flooding and talking to neighbours. “The nearest village is a good place to start to obtain local knowledge, especially the village shop or pub if there is one,” she says.

Property

On the property itself – ie the stabling, grazing and equestrian facilities – there should be a good balance between the number of stables and the amount of grazing land available.

“Satisfy yourself there is enough acreage for your needs,” advises Graham. “The rule of one acre per horse is fine in the summer months, but in my opinion, larger horses need close to two acres in the wet winter months.”

“Is there space for an arena – if there isn’t one already – and is the access sufficient for the machinery to construct a manege in the future?” asks Susie.

So far, we have considered all aspects equestrian, but this is, after all, a home for you

he majority of horse owners want their own little piece of heaven – a house with stables and enough land to keep their own horse. It’s what dreams are made of, but make sure you check all aspects before you buy.

BUYERS’ GUIDE

and your family, too! “Often, people looking for an equestrian home will put the horse’s accommodation requirements well above their own,” says Katherine Watters of Garrington Property Finders, who also recommends carefully checking boundaries on the title documents.

“Many a property transaction has been held up over a boundary issue, and the process of re-registering parcels of land can take up to six weeks and be the downfall of a transaction, especially when you are in a chain. Use a solicitor who is used to dealing with equestrian/agricultural properties, as there are many other factors to consider other than that of a purely residential dwelling.”

The stable yard

Check out the stable yard itself – are the stables well built and useable? “Take a look at the doors, floors, drainage and check the roof is in good order,” says Susie. “A tidy stable yard should give a good indication as to how the property has been, and is being, maintained.”

She also advises to check out the lighting: “A well-lit yard is a pleasure to work in on dark mornings and evenings.”

Other check points include whether there are sufficient storage buildings for hay, straw May 2013 Horse Deals

TOP TIPS

l Check the property is easily accessible with good hacking. l View it at the time you would hack out – it may be a rat-run for commuters. l Check out the neighbours – the village shop or pub are great places for local knowledge. l Is there enough acreage for your needs – one-and-a-half acres per horse is ideal. l Ensure your solicitor checks the title documents for any boundary issues. l Check with the local authority that change of use for the land isn’t required. l Check the land for any signs of flooding, ragwort and soil type.

Albion Hayes in Shrewsbury, which is for sale for a guide price of £795,000, is on the market with Balfours LLP and is a good example of a well-kept equestrian property

and other bedding, fodder, tack, rugs and horse transport. “Is the vehicle access good enough for a trailer or lorry?” says Susie, “and is there enough turning space for vehicles within the property – it is not easy reversing horse transport onto a road!”

Using outbuildings as stables is another point. “If there aren’t stables on site, think about how you will utilise the outbuildings – barns are a good, cost-effective solution to stabling as you can erect internal stables and create an American barn-style set-up.”

Katherine recommends to always keep planning in the back of your mind. Any stabling other than mobile field shelters need planning permission,” she says. “Look at your local authority website and read their Local Policy as regards planning as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and conservation areas may all have restrictions, and this particularly applies to sand-schools and floodlights.”

Security is another issue. “Security of the property and in particular the stable yard is sadly a major consideration in this day and age,” assesses Susie.

The paddocks

Are the paddocks in good view of the house?

Can your horses been seen from the property? www.horsedeals.co.uk

Security is always an issue nowadays, as is fencing. “In an ideal world, a ring-fence around the property is beneficial for upkeep, security, access and can help maintain value in the future,” says Susie, who recommends well-fenced paddocks of manageable size with water supply.

The relatively level paddocks at Chaney Plough in Exfords Green, Shropshire – a four-acre, four-bed property, for sale with Balfours at £600,000 (see photo, left) – are a good example as they look to be well managed and are currently grazed by sheep, so will not be horse sour.

Level pasture with free-draining land that is accessible for tractors for maintenance of the grassland, rolling, harrowing, spraying and fertilising if necessary.

Even if the pasture is level, Graham recommends you walk every inch. “Both level and sloping pasture can have wet or damp spots, so ask the question – ‘What is it like in winter?’,” he says.

“Also, bear in mind that not all land is suitable for horses. Wet or boggy land is not always visible, and check for debris, ragwort and mare’s tail, etc.”

“Well maintained paddocks surrounded by post and rail fencing are an added bonus when buying an equestrian property,” adds

l If there is a manege, check the surface for any kind of damage or stones coming through from the sub base.

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

Susie. “The cost of post and railing paddocks from scratch can be prohibitive.”

Graham always recommends checking with DEFRA and the local authority as to the classification of the land.

“What do they deem the land is used for?” he asks. “It’s worth finding out as this could result in a change of use being required.”

Soil type is another aspect to check.

“Ascertain the soil type,” recommends Katherine. “Sandy/chalky soils are free draining and will fare better in the winter than clay soils, which can become deeply muddy. Also, careful management of any soil type is important.”

The arena

“If there is an arena, check the surface for any damage and signs of stones coming through from the sub base,” says Susie, “and check the fencing if there is any.

“Also, ask yourself is it of a sufficient size – ie 20m x 40m as a minimum,” adds Susie.

“If you want to use the surface for jumping, a wider manege is recommended, such as a 25m width.” HD May 2013 Horse Deals

ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

R BUYING ADVICE

Expert advice to help you make the right choice when choosing a new or second-hand trailer

W

ithout the huge running costs involved in running a lorry, trailers are often the common sense choice for owners who enjoy the odd weekend show and need transport to fresh hacking country and the occasional trip to the vet’s, etc.

Whether you buy a brand new, top-of-therange trailer or a rather more modest second-hand one is a matter of personal choice and budget, but with

manufacturers bringing new innovations to the market all the time, modern trailers are becoming ever more high-tech.

With step-up ramps, state-of-the-art suspension systems and even live-in accommodation, today’s trailers are no longer the poor relation of the horsebox, and innovative design has been the driving force behind a host of exciting new models on the market – offering owners affordable options, while making sure their horses travel in safety and style. HD

R

GOLDEN RULES When buying a new or used trailer, important points to check include:

● Does it have the option of a front unload ramp, or just a rear unload?

Some new designs have a side ramp to help make the prospect of loading into a trailer more enticing from a horse’s point of view; while rampless, step-up entrances are another new option on some models. ● How easy are the ramps to use and are there any signs of rot or wear? ● If you’re buying second-hand, has the trailer been well maintained? It’s easy to park them up and forget them, but it’s important they’re regularly serviced – during which a mechanic will take the wheels off and thoroughly check them, as well as the hubs and the brakes, and go over the electrics to make sure everything is working and undamaged. ● If the trailer has been parked up for a while, check the tyre pressures, look for any flat spots and make sure the walls have not perished. ● Check whether the ramp springs are well greased and check the ramp hydraulics are in good working order. ● Some modern trailers have aluminium plank floors, which are maintenance free, but check the condition of wooden floors carefully.

Insuring your trailer or horsebox

essential BUYinG aDViCe

GOLDEN RULES

Whether you’re buying a horsebox or trailer it’s important to ensure it’s properly insured from the moment you drive it away…

l While it’s not a legal requirement to insure your trailer, it is highly advisable in the event of theft or damage – and security devices such as wheel clamps and hitch locks may reduce your premiums.

orse boxes and trailers are desirable – but sadly this means they’re desirable to thieves, too. And whether you’re looking to protect your equestrian transport from theft or damage, the right policy is a must.

Most companies offer a mix of policies, from fully comprehensive and third party, fire and theft cover, which caters for ‘social, domestic and pleasure’ use, to policies covering business use of the lorry or trailer.

Of course, costs vary and will depend on the type, age and value of your transport, the type of use it will face during its day to day existence, where it will be stored and, in the case of a lorry, how many drivers will be named on the policy and their driving experience.

As with all insurance, it pays to shop around for quotes and compare policies – many people opt to pay slightly more to insure with a company that has a good reputation and can offer the back up of a team of horse enthusiasts who understand the concerns horse owners’ face and the types of transport problems they’re often up against.

l When getting a quote ensure you have all the necessary paperwork to hand – including any serial and VIN numbers.

H

Companies offering both lorry and trailer insurance often offer breakdown cover too, so ask about this when you make enquiries.

Before you get a quote, make sure you have your lorry or trailer’s details to hand, including the make, model and year; any serial or VIN numbers; details of how many horses the vehicle’s designed to carry and what you’ll be using it for.

It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your trailer or lorry’s insurance documents either in your towing vehicle or the lorry’s cab in case of emergency. HD

l Enquire about breakdown cover, as many insurers offer this, too.

For the latest trailers for sale, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

R BUYING ADVICE

Legal concerns You are required by law to insure your horsebox, however this is not the case with trailers – though it is recommended, especially as trailers can often be tempting to thieves and difficult to fully secure.

Before towing a trailer, check with your towing vehicle’s insurers that the trailer’s covered for third party claims – though this won’t cover you for any damage to the trailer or loss through theft. Separate trailer policies are available, so check online to see what different companies offer.

CheCk with your towing vehiCle’s insurers that the trailer’s Covered for third party Claims… www.horsedeals.co.uk

The 6 best towing essential BUYinG aDViCe

Our guide to the best towing cars will help you choose with confidence, whatever your budget, with expert advice from Gareth Evans of Parkers

R

BUYERS’ GUIDE

Audi Q3 Price range: £25,065 - £31,870 Braked towing caPacity: 1,800-2,000kg why Buy? If you’re looking for a 4x4 with a bit of cache and a badge that’ll impress your friends, Audi’s Q3 could be the answer.

With its braked towing weight of 1,800kg available whether you choose two- or four-wheel drive, the Q3 is easily capable of pulling a trailer with two horses. If you’re planning on towing over grass, it’s definitely worth picking one with the firm’s famous Quattro four-wheel-drive system for the ultimate in traction on slippery surfaces.

Helpfully, all Q3s come with preparation for the fitting of the optional tow bar system. This includes all wiring and the control unit as well as adapted engine cooling to cope.

Inside you’ll find a surprisingly premium-feeling cabin, which is bound to appeal to the more style-conscious among

90 May 2013 horse deals

you. You can choose myriad optional extras to further enhance or personalise your car, including a very clever sat-nav system incorporating Google Maps and a panoramic glass sunroof, which makes the cabin feel nice and airy.

Audi’s diesel engines are definitely worth considering. They’re smooth and fairly quiet, yet have lots of pulling power too. Although obviously not a sports car, the Q3 performs pretty well through corners too. More importantly it’s easy to drive and is bound to prove reliable. Audi has a superb reputation in both reliability and customer satisfaction surveys.

Here’s a helpful buying tip: if you like a comfortable ride, steer clear of S Line models with the Sports suspension setup.

It lowers the car and makes it a lot stiffer, so you really notice bumps in the road.

Range Rover

Price range: £71,295 - £98,395 Braked towing caPacity: 3,500kg why Buy? The Range Rover has only just been revised, and the new version is better than ever.

Although it’s a seriously comfortable on-road cruiser, it’s also stunningly capable when the going gets rough.

It’s an unashamedly large car, but the recent upgrade means it’s a huge 420kg lighter than its predecessor. That means it has better fuel economy and makes better use of its range of smooth yet very powerful petrol and diesel engines.

Of course, with a car at this price point you’d expect rather a lot of equipment, and the Range Rover does not disappoint. Standard fare includes an electrically powered tailgate, which is very useful when you’ve got your hands full.

Land Rover’s Terrain Response system also comes on all models, allowing the driver to tell the car what sort of surface it’s being driven on. The car then adjusts how it drives to suit.

It also has parking sensors at the front and the rear, lots of electrical gadgets, such as automatic windscreen wipers, and even a

Hyundai Santa Fe Price range: £25,495 - £34,395 Braked towing caPacity: 2,000 – 2,500kg why Buy? With the latest generation of Hyundai’s Santa Fe, the Korean firm is trying to go back to basics. This is a no-nonsense, capable off-roader which offers a functional interior combinec with decent build quality.

Crucially, it also boasts Hyundai’s extremely tempting five-year warranty.

This can be transferred between owners, meaning if you sell your car before five years is up then the new owner will get the remainder of the warranty.

The Santa Fe is notable not only for its fairly spacious boot, but for the ease of folding down the second row of seats.

One-touch controls mean these will lie flat against the floor, offering vastly improved space for larger loads.

Larger families will be pleased you also get the option of specifying a seven seat configuration, adding an extra two flat-folding chairs that are suitable for smaller children at the expense of room in the boot.

In theme with keeping things simple,

There are over 18,000 optional extra combinations available, meaning you’ll be able to spec your Range Rover exactly how you’d like it.

there’s just one engine available. The 2.2-litre diesel produces more than enough pulling power for a pair of horses in their box. You’ve got the option of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox, but beware: the latter will mean your braked towing weight is pegged to 2,000kg.

drive; the former is better for fuel economy while the latter provides more traction and stability when off road or in slippery conditions.

The Korean car manufacturers are really on a march in Europe now, and the Santa Fe is a good indication of why they’re doing so well.

TOP TIPS

l Have the right licence: The first thing to be aware of is that what you’re allowed to tow without taking a separate test depends on when you got your driving licence.

If you passed after 13 January 2013, you’re allowed to tow a trailer weighing no more than 750kg. You can also tow a larger trailer as long as the combined weight of both trailer and towing car isn’t more than 3,500kg. If you passed your test between 1 January 1997 and 13 January 2013, you can drive a 3,500kg vehicle with a trailer of 750kg. You can also tow a trailer over 750kg as long as it doesn’t weight more than the unladen weight of the towing vehicle (up to a combined weight of 3,500kg). For licences before 1 January 1997, you’re allowed to drive vehicles weight a total of 8.25 tonnes. You can also use a minibus to tow a trailer if needs be. For any other type of towing, you’ll have to pass one theory and one practical test to gain a ‘category C’ driving licence. l Know your weights and limits: You’ll need to know the unladen weight of your vehicle, also known as its ‘kerb weight’. You’ll be able to find this in your vehicle handbook. You will also need to know the weight of the thing you’re towing. l Alternatively, you can find the car’s Gross Train Weight. This is often listed on the car’s VIN (vehicle identification number) plate, usually found under the bonnet or inside the driver’s door.

It refers to the weight of the fully loaded car plus a fully loaded trailer, and should never be exceeded. If your car doesn’t have this then you shouldn’t tow with it. For a trailer weighing up to 3,500kg, the maximum width allowed for a trailer is 2.55 metres while maximum length is 7 metres.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Price range: £38,595 - £59,595 Braked towing caPacity: 2,268 – 3,500kg why Buy? The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a car that is designed to combine on-road manners with genuine off-road capability.

In terms of engines, there’s a pair available – a monster 6.4-litre V8 petrol or a 3.0-litre V6 diesel which has a serious amount of pulling power. We seriously doubt the former will be a regular sight on UK roads thanks to its eye-watering running costs, but the diesel model is the

92 May 2013 horse deals

version we’re recommending here.

It has loads of grunt which means it’s more than capable of towing even the largest of trailers with ease. It comes prepared, too – there are standard towing eye brackets on the underside and all models also get a system which counteracts trailer sway, which will be useful when it gets a bit windy.

Models fitted with the clever air suspension setup are ideal for working off-road. There’s a host of electrical systems

which are there to help keep you on the straight and narrow. For instance, you get a clever thing called ‘hill descent control’ which takes the worry out of driving down slippery slopes. It brakes the car and keeps it going in the direction you want. ‘Hill start assist’ is something which holds the brakes on for you when setting off on a hill, stopping you rolling backwards into anything behind you.

On the road the Grand Cherokee is very comfortable and it’s loaded with kit no matter which trim you choose. Features such as automatic headlights and wipers are standard, along with huge 20-inch alloy wheels, leather trim and electric folding door mirrors.

TOP TIPS

Volkswagen Touareg Price range: £40,600 - £60,190 Braked towing caPacity: 3,500kg why Buy? The Touareg is a seriously capable machine, which is very comfortable on the road yet more than capable of tackling the rough stuff too.

Under the skin it’s actually based on the Porsche Cayenne, which goes some way to describing how nice it is to drive.

Fortunately though, it doesn’t carry the price tag of a Porsche, which makes this VW an attractive proposition as a towing vehicle.

A range of highly powerful petrol and diesel engines are available and supply more than enough pulling power to drag a fully laden horsebox. You can even order one with a ‘hybrid’ system, which means a petrol engine gets help from an electric motor powered by a set of batteries. This means

more power is on offer than diesel models while retaining some semblance of acceptable fuel economy.

Being a Volkswagen, you can expect excellent build quality as standard. This is a car which has been built to last, and you get the feeling the controls and surfaces will stand up to a serious amount of abuse.

The tough nature of this car doesn’t mean it’s difficult to drive, though. The automatic gearbox and decent road manners mean its accessible no matter what your driving history.

For those who are likely to venture off the beaten track more often, there’s a version known as Escape which offers a more advanced four-wheel-drive system with a low-range gearbox for tackling particularly challenging terrain. It also has extra protection on the underside for when things get a bit rough and rugged.

l Equipment and safety standards: you must use a ‘type approved’ towing bar if your vehicle was registered after 1 August 1998. Failure to use correct towing mirrors when the trailer exceeds the width of the towing vehicle can result in police prosecution, three points on your licence and up to a £1,000 fine. Any trailer over 750kg must by law have a working brake system. l Buying a towing car? Make sure you’re buying a car that’s suitable for the towing work you’re going to do. You can find information about the car’s braked towing weight in the facts and figures section of all car reviews on the Parkers. co.uk website. You’ll also need to ensure it has the correct equipment. Not only do you need the tow bar itself, but you’ll need the correct wiring to make sure your lights all work and brakes too if you’re buying that type of trailer. l It’s worth making sure you’re buying a car that hasn’t been abused. Watch out for scuffs on the wheels and bumps or scrapes to the bodywork.

Honda CR-V Price range: £21,395 - £34,900 Braked towing caPacity: 1,500 – 2,000kg why Buy? Built in the UK, the CR-V is your archetypal dependable family car. Honda has a fantastic reputation when it comes to reliability, and this version of the CR-V is no exception. Now in its fourth generation, it’s been on sale in the UK since 1995 and has sold in huge numbers.

Available with either two- or four-wheeldrive, it’s a brilliant car for towing a trailer.

It won’t cost the earth to run either, since Honda has done a lot of work to make the latest CR-V more efficient than ever.

There’s even an ‘Econ’ button the dash which when pressed adjusts the way the engine works for a lazier yet more economical drive.

It also has a clever system on the dash to help you drive more carefully – if the graphics go www.horsedeals.co.uk

green then you’re driving your car efficiently.

If they’re blue, you can do better.

Another handy touch Honda has provided is the one-touch fold-down function for the rear seats. Operated either by handles in the boot or fabric toggles under the rear seats, they fold away quickly and simply meaning converting to a much bigger boot area is easy.

Honda’s diesel engines are smooth and very punchy, which means they’ll make easy work of towing a couple of horses.

The firm can supply a towing pack, which includes a detachable tow bar and a 13-pin plug with all the wiring you need to hook up your trailer. That little lot costs £575. hd

l If you’re buying second hand, make sure you ask the seller many questions about what the car has been towing. If it’s had a particularly hard life towing then it could have overly worn brakes or even a clutch that’s on the way out.

Towing puts more strain on the car than normal driving, so perhaps having an engineer’s report done would be a good move too for real peace of mind.

R BUYERS’ GUIDE

Transport made easy Jane Carley looks at the latest design innovations and gadgets to make towing a trailer and driving a horsebox easier – and safer

T

ravelling horses can be one of the most stressful experiences for owners, combining the challenge of busy roads with that of transporting a live animal. But the latest technology in horse transport and some useful accessories can make it easier, safer and more comfortable.

While it’s always useful to have some lessons if you are new to driving horseboxes – and essential for certain types of licence – modern horseboxes are a lot easier to drive than some of the older, heavy models.

Many 3.5 tonne lorries are built on chassis also used for popular vans, with Renault 98 May 2013 Horse Deals

Master, Vauxhall Movano and Citroen Relay being among the most common. These have five or even six speed gearboxes, light steering and excellent visibility from the cab, so are usually as easy to drive as a car. It’s well worth a test drive to see how well they run, even when having a lorry built, and checking the service history and previous use. Ex-hire and some types of fleet vans may have been driven with slightly less care, so take this into consideration!

The most modern chassis have the benefits of excellent fuel economy and lower servicing costs, which can offset the higher purchase price compared to an older model.

Larger lorries come with power steering and high tech gearboxes which are very efficient and easy to use once you get the hang of them, so it’s well worth looking at professional training to show you all the lorry drivers’ tips.

Knowing the height of your lorry is essential when using filling stations or on routes with low bridges – one popular competition venue in the Midlands has a low railway bridge yards from its entrance, necessitating a totally different set of directions for lorry drivers!

A simple metal plate with large vinyl letters indicating the lorry height can be fixed in the cab so that it can be clearly and quickly seen by the driver.

Hitching up a trailer can be tricky, but some 4x4s come with a hitching camera to make it easier

When towing with a car or small 4x4 the standard wing mirrors may not give sufficient view past a wider trailer, so ‘clip on’ caravan mirrors are a good idea. It’s also possible to get wide angle mirrors for lorries, which can be useful when pulling out onto motorways or dual carriageways.

All horseboxes over 7.5 tonnes, and those over 3.5 tonnes which are used for commercial purposes, must be fitted with a tachograph, which must be regularly inspected and recalibrated at a VOSA approved test centre. l www.whb.org.uk l www.specializedhorsebox components.com l www.horseboxsupplies.com

Check what security measures are required by your insurance company – a wheel lock can be useful

Getting hitched Hitching up a trailer on your own can be a real pain, especially having to jump out and check that you are lined up correctly in bad weather.

Many of the high specification 4x4s have hitching cameras with monitors integrated into the dashboard information screen and even remote control for the chassis suspension to allow you to lift the towing ball onto the hitch effortlessly. Air-based suspension systems can also be retrofitted – worth considering if you are likely to be hitching up one of the bigger trailers single handed on a regular basis.

But if you are not lucky enough to own one of these vehicles, a simple mirror can help.

The mirror is fitted to the front of the trailer reflecting the position of the trailer hitch and towing vehicle tow ball so that you can see them from the driver’s seat.

Another simple, but useful aid is a plastic chock which prevents the trailer rolling backwards when parked on unlevel ground and stops it moving while hitching up. l www.horsetrailershop.co.uk l www.equibrand.co.uk l www.batesontrailers.com fit a coupling mirror as standard

Security features Check with your insurance company what type of trailer locks it requires. Many stipulate a wheel lock as well as a hitch lock when the trailer is parked up to prevent thieves manhandling it on to a flatbed. www.HorseDeals.co.uk

A camera in the horse area can help keep an eye on the horse when he’s travelling

A reversing camera can be useful when manoeuvring your lorry

Cameras CCTV cameras enable you to keep an eye on the horses as well as providing a useful aid when reversing, and some models will switch automatically to the reversing camera when reverse gear is selected.

Wireless cameras are easy to swap between vehicles and are ideal for trailers, and at the top of the range it is possible to specify a monitor which also incorporates a satellite navigation system.

The latest sat navs are especially useful for horsebox drivers as the height and width of the vehicle can be input and the

route selected will avoid low bridges and narrow roads.

However, if you drive alone, bear in mind that the monitor (other than when in sat nav mode) should not be on when the vehicle is in motion, as it provides a distraction to the driver. A monitor positioned so that it is not in the driver’s sight line could be safely viewed by a passenger. l www.trailervision.co.uk l www.alarmsforfarms.com l www.whb.org.uk

TOP TIPS

l While it’s always useful to have some lessons if you are new to driving horseboxes – and essential for certain types of licence – modern horseboxes are a lot easier to drive than some of the older, heavy models. Look for power steering and excellent visibility, for instance.

Trevett & Smith Horseboxes have a generous payload, which makes them easier and safer to drive

Latest designs make for driving confidence Trevett & Smith Horseboxes use lightweight building materials and construction processes in the Omnia 3.5t.

Vauxhall Movano or Renault Master chassis create a strong and agile box with a payload of 1350kgs on the standard 3.5t or 1750kgs on an uprated chassis.

Colin Smith points out that having sufficient payload is crucial for the safety and reliability of a horsebox, and makes it easier to drive He explains: “We supply a weight certificate with all our builds so the new owner knows exactly how much payload is available. We try to create a comfortable and safe environment to transport your horse, which could reduce the risk of it becoming unsettled, which should take

This can include when away at shows if you take the trailer off your towing vehicle, for example if you are staying offsite in a b&b.

Wheel locks range widely in price and check before purchase that they will actually fit your make of trailer as wheel sizes vary.

Think about your parking area too – wheel locks can be difficult and messy to take off if the trailer is parked on soft ground, so hard standing of some type is preferable. Most modern trailers come with a locking hitch, but a separate hitch lock gives extra security and the best ones totally enclose the hitch. Alarms can also be fitted to the hitch which are activated by interference with the tow hitch and ‘A’ frame.

Security marking and tagging is a great deterrent to thieves. There are number of ways

some of the anxiety away from the driver. Both the Vauxhall and Renault benefit from car-like handling and low centre of gravity so there is less body roll and more stability. With excellent all round vision, helped by the large wing mirrors and with a reversing camera fitted it also gives the driver that extra confidence when manoeuvring in confined areas.

“Our 6.5t range of horseboxes are built on the Iveco Daily chassis which also has a car-like driving position and cab layout.

It too gives you excellent all round vision whilst driving and with its payload of more than 2500kg it never feels like the box is driving you because you’ve overloaded its maximum capacity!”

to mark the trailer including putting your postcode on the side or roof. Data tagging, offered by a number of the trailer manufacturers, uses markings which are impossible for thieves to detect, yet which can be scanned by police, helping to reunite a stolen trailer with its owner. It is also possible to register a trailer with the National Plant and Equipment Register (TER).

All Ifor Williams horse trailers are automatically registered both on the company’s own database and TER (The National Plant & Equipment Register); you can register with this nationwide database yourself, ensuring your horse trailer’s serial number can be traced back to you in the event of a theft.

Sadly, thefts from horseboxes at shows are

ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

Buying a trailer or lorry 10 questions you should ask the seller…

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

How long have they owned the trailer or horsebox, has it been well maintained in that time and how often has it been used?

In the case of a horsebox, does it have a full service history and when does the plating and tax run out?

If you’re buying a horsebox it can be a good idea to run an HPI check (visit www.hpicheck.com for more on this), so ask the owner for the licence plate. This will tell you if there is any outstanding finance on the vehicle – or whether it has a dubious past.

If you’re buying a second-hand horsebox you need to ask similar questions to the ones you’d ask regarding a car, namely how many miles has it done and what condition is it in? Also, does it have power steering?

Whether it’s a trailer or horsebox, the condition of the ramp’s important – can one person easily lift it on their own? Are there any signs of rot or damage?

If it’s a horsebox, what’s the make of the chassis (as a general rule, buy the newest chassis you can afford)?

How has the horsebox been built? Is it a conversion, a new body that’s been built on to a second-hand chassis or a coachbuilt body that’s built on to a new chassis?

..........................................................................................

If it’s a horsebox, does it have a fixed or tilt cab?

What is the height and width of the horse area (this applies to both trailers and horseboxes)?

Buying a 3.5 tonne lorry essential BUYING ADVICE

R BUYERS’ GUIDE

Expert advice to help you buy a two-horse lorry, whatever your wish list or budget horses need to be transported, the savings are worthwhile and it can be driven by someone who doesn’t have the necessary qualifications to drive a large vehicle.

Buyers’ survival tips

While these are perhaps the most sought-after lorries on the market, buying a 3.5 tonne lorry can be a minefield. One of the first survival tips is to buy from a recognised dealer and/or manufacturer – or, if your potential dream horsebox is being offered by a new company, check that it’s built by people with horse knowledge as well as vehicle skills.

At present, anyone can build and sell a horsebox. While everyone has to start somewhere, there is too much anecdotal evidence of poor build quality and unsafe conversions.

If a vehicle proves unfit for purpose, then you would have recourse, though that would be limited if the builder could claim to be a private seller. It would also be little consolation if you or your horse was injured,

Words: Carolyn Henderson

A

two-horse lorry comes top of many owners’ wish lists. Scan the adverts in this issue’s Horse Deals and you’ll see all types, from brand new coachbuilt luxury in miniature to more basic lorries for those on a budget.

For some drivers, a 3.5 tonne lorry may be the only option if they don’t want to take a farther driving test. If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you are ONLY able to drive a 3.5 tonne horsebox on a car licence; if you passed before then, you can drive one up to 7.5 tonnes.

Some drivers who fall into the post-1997 category still choose to go for a 3.5 tonne box, often because it makes financial sense. One big advantage is that it only requires an MOT test each year carried out by a garage registered to undertake Class 7 tests.

A smaller lorry should also be easier to manoeuvre and more economical to run. For that reason, many commercial yards are finding it’s worth investing in one to run alongside a larger lorry; when only one or two

Smaller lorries are popular with everyone, from professionals to weekend competitors

so check credentials and get a check done by a qualified, independent horsebox inspector.

This is good advice whatever size or type of lorry you’re contemplating, but with so many people wanting 3.5 tonne lorries, more are appearing on the market. As Brian Burton of Essex Vehicle Inspections points out, most people wouldn’t spend thousands on a horse without having it vetted, so why risk doing the same on a horsebox if you don’t have specialist knowledge?

In many cases, an inspection can end up paying for itself. If it turns out that a lorry would be the perfect buy once minor problems were sorted, you may well be able to negotiate the price to take the cost of having this done into account.

Taking the load

A smaller lorry should be easier to manouevre and more economical to run

May 2013 Horse Deals

The biggest issue with buying a 3.5 tonne lorry is whether or not the payload is adequate. If you are looking to transport one horse or two lightweight ponies, you shouldn’t have a problem – but check.

TOP TIPS

l If you’re a professional crippled by the charges of running a large horsebox, could a second, small one be a good investment? l Don’t take claims about a lorry’s payload for granted. Ask to see documentary proof. l Make sure you get documentary proof of a lorry’s payload. l Is the vehicle you have in mind of appropriate construction – or have compromises been made for the sake of a lighter weight? l A pre-purchase check by an independent specialist is always a good investment. l Whether you choose front or rear facing travelling positions, appropriate safety precautions must have been incorporated in the design and construction.

overload a vehicle and are stopped – and more and more spot checks are being carried out, on roads and even at shows – the responsibility is yours. Even more important, you’re driving an unsafe vehicle and endangering yourself, your horses and other road users.

One well-known dressage rider who bought a single horse lorry to transport her 17hh Hanoverian said she was assured by the manufacturer, who is no longer in business, that it would be suitable and would easily take the horse, a driver and passenger and all equipment. But when she was pulled over on a spot Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) random check, she discovered that her new lorry was on its maximum payload with just the horse on board, never mind a driver!

In this sort of situation, ignorance is no defence. The moral of this story is again, to buy from a reputable seller, many of whom you’ll find in Horse Deals or on www. horsedeals.co.uk There are, of course, many reputable private sellers: but whether you are buying from a commercial seller or a private one, insist on documentation that proves the payload. www.horsedeals.co.uk

l If you’re not limited to a 3.5 tonne vehicle, consider looking at twohorse lorries with a larger payload, too.

Horseboxes must be suitably reinforced to ensure the safety of the horses, and passengers, on board

horses are heavy and vehicles must be suitably reinforced to take that into account’ Safety in strength The only way to reduce a payload is to use materials that are strong, but lightweight.

This is something top manufacturers have brought down to a fine art.

Horses are heavy and vehicles in which they travel must be suitably reinforced to take that into account. If one crashes against the side of a lorry, or kicks out, you need to be sure that the materials and construction will stand up to it.

Check that the bulkhead is suitably reinforced, especially in conversions. After all, if this is the only structure separating the horse area from the cab, your life could depend on it.

It’s also vital that your box has safety features to prevent a horse trying to climb out.

This could happen in either a front or rear facing box unless design and construction takes it into account.

Safety strategies include correctly fitted, removable weaving grilles or jump barriers, which some manufacturers offer as standard.

Check, too, that ramps and doors are large 112 May 2013 Horse Deals

enough to allow easy access, loading and unloading. Side ramps which are too small and/or are at an awkward angle are potentially dangerous.

Take your position Do you want your horses to travel facing forwards or backwards? This is a hotly debated question and it comes down to personal preference.

Those who prefer their horses to travel facing the rear point to research which appears to show that this is the most natural and stress-free position. Others believe that it is safer for horses to travel facing forwards.

Some horses also have strong opinions on what they prefer, so if you aren’t sure, try both options before buying.

Having it all A quick search on internet forums shows that many owners are still naive about what they can and can’t have in a 3.5 tonne horsebox. If you want full living, tack storage, large water tanks and all mod cons, think again – the

Chat to manufacturers about your individual wish-list with regards to tack storage, etc

payload won’t allow enough leeway.

However, do talk to specialist manufacturers about your individual circumstances. If you are only transporting one small horse or two lightweight ponies, they may be able to give you extra features.

If you’re not limited to a 3.5 tonne lorry, life will be easier. For instance, a 4.5 tonne, two-horse lorry can be constructed to give you plenty of extra facilities and will still be easy to drive. HD Tel: 01733 468000

essential BUYING ADVICE

Buying a horsebox

Expert advice to help you buy a lorry with confidence, whatever your size needs or budget

W

hen buying a horsebox it’s important to be clear in your mind from the outset what you need with regards to size and on board gadgets. You might be blown away by a state of the art lorry, complete with living accommodation and en suite shower, but if you’re only going to be travelling up the road to local competitions all this luxury will be an unnecessary expense.

Instead, be realistic and ask yourself the following questions: lH ow many horses will I be transporting at any one time? lH ow much can I really afford? lW hat am I legally allowed to drive? lA m I prepared for the substantial running costs – including an annual plating (the lorry’s equivalent of an MOT) and servicing, etc? lH ave I got somewhere safe to keep it?

Once you’ve sussed your budget and needs, you can start flicking through Horse Deals or head online (see www.horsedeals.co.uk) to browse the lorries for sale ads.

Whether you buy privately or from a dealer is another point to consider.

MAY 2013 Horse Deals

Buying privately may bag you a good deal, but buying from a dealer offers you some protection, as well as a warranty. “When buying a lorry from a dealer you have implied and express rights,” say the legal experts at solictors SGH Martineau.

“Express rights refer to those that you expressly agree with the dealer, for example the price, whether it will be sold with a full tank of fuel and how long any warranty will last, etc. If any of these express rights are broken then you’ll have legal rights against the dealer. In addition, the law implies other rights into your contract of sale/purchase.”

In summary, the horsebox must be ‘as described’ by the dealer in his advertisement. So, for example, a nearly new lorry can’t be 10 years old, or a right-hand drive can’t be a left-hand drive horsebox.

The lorry must also be of satisfactory quality and ‘fit for purpose’. In this regard, make sure you keep written evidence of any specific purpose you make known to the dealer. Finally, the lorry must match the description in any brochure, including the dealer’s website – for example a red lorry can’t actually be blue!

Buying 7.5 tonners

If you’re buying a bigger lorry, the most important point to consider is whether or not you can legally drive it.

Lorries weighing between 3.5 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes can only be driven by holders of a C1 category licence – and anyone who passed their driving test for a category B licence after 1 January 1997 will not receive automatic entitlement to drive category C1 vehicles, so will need to take an additional test. For more on driver licensing visit www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Driving foraliving/Drivinglorriesbusesandcoaches/ DG_4022548 Weight is another big issue. The 7.5 tonne horsebox used to be the staple form of transport for every equine activity from hunting to showing, with the ability to hold ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ for if you had to stay away at an event. But many of these lorries were significantly overweight when loaded with three horses, the family, water and diesel, leading to safety concerns.

As a result, VOSA has clamped down on overweight lorries, and it is a common Tel: 01733 468000

occurrence to be directed off the road and weighed. If you are overweight, the lorry can be impounded, which is at best inconvenient, and so a horsebox’s unladen weight has become a key selling point, with manufacturers using ever-lighter materials and innovative designs to stay within the law.

When drawing up your horsebox wish list, be aware of unnecessary luxuries that may add weight. Air conditioning units, for

example are very heavy, and how often are you likely to need air conditioning when away at shows in this country? Another heavy item is an awning, which is not really essential for most purchasers.

Buying 3.5 tonners

If a smaller 3.5 tonne lorry will better suit your requirements, a plus point is that anyone with a category B licence (an ordinary private car licence) can drive a lorry with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, making these vehicles more flexible for the average horse owner.

However, one serious concern for purchasers of horseboxes under 7.5 tonnes, which are subject to less regulation than HGVs, is their suitability to actually carry horses.

So ask questions before you buy – for instance has the undercarriage and body been strengthened? HD

R

GOLDEN RULES When you go to view a potential lorry, follow our guide to essential checks (or have a mechanic do it for you): l Overall condition – look for signs of rust, wear and damp and check the ramp’s in good condition. l Wheels and tyres – check the wheel nuts and tyre tread depth, which should be at least 1mm or more, and have the tyre pressures checked regularly if you decide to buy it (a tyre centre will be able to do this for you if necessary). Check the spare, and look at the edges of all the tyres for signs of cracking or perishing. l Battery – does this look regularly maintained? To reduce battery problems, many drivers clean and protect the battery terminals with petroleum jelly. Check too that the lighting in the living and horse area runs from a separate battery to the main lorry battery. l Suspension – check to see if the vehicle is sitting square or lopsided, and listen for any knocking sounds when the vehicle is in motion. l The parking brake, or handbrake – check it works, and while you’re in the cab check whether everything appears in good working order. l Brake systems – check for air and fluid leaks. l Tachograph – if there is a tachograph installed, check whether your planned use of the vehicle makes it exempt. If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph but you only use the instrument as a speedometer, you must ensure all the seals are intact, and that it has been calibrated and fitted with both the calibration and K factor plaques. l Fuel systems – check the fuel cap has a seal fitted and has no obvious fuel leaks. Check too that no black smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe, as well as the security and condition of the exhaust system. If you buy the lorry, the oil level should be regularly checked and topped up accordingly. l Anti-freeze – to prevent cracked engine blocks, burst radiators and split hoses, the anti-freeze level in the cooling system should be topped up regularly. l Windscreen wash – has this been topped up? A mix of cleaning fluid, anti-freeze and water is best – and if you decide to buy the lorry you’ll need to make sure you’ve got plenty for the drive home. l Speed limiter – if the vehicle has a speed limiter installed, check it has the appropriate calibration plaque and seals. l Speedometer – make sure the speedometer illuminates. l Steering mechanism – check for obvious oil leaks and any unusual knocking noises when driving. l Headlights and lamps – check that they work and are the right colour, and look for faded and broken lenses, or missing reflectors at the rear and side of the box. l You’re insured and legally able to drive the weight of vehicle before taking it for a test drive.

50 years of excellent service

Another happy endiing...

This is Chester, one year after his surgery and the ďŹ rst time he was allowed a little freedom outside the conďŹ nement of his stable.

He genuinely looks happy to be alive and thanks to SEIB and the advances in Surgical techniques he is well on the road to recovery.

All horse insurance is not the same! Buying the correct insurance policy that will keep you and your horse protected must be a priority.

Take the time to speak to the team at SEIB and they will guide you through the range of insurance on offer and will explain the options of cover available and the costs involved.

To understand the full story talk to one of our advisers it could save you thousands in the long run. The wrong horse or pony insurance could be a very expensive mistake.
